Lot 2146
1848-C $2.50 Liberty. NGC graded MS-62. Struck from slightly buckeled dies resulting in same weakness in the centers and on Liberty's lower shoulder. Shimmering with slightly prooflike surfaces. Brilliant rich golden color. Ranks high within the condition census. An hard to believe array of prooflike luster supports bright vibrant highlights on this rare Charlotte mint gold piece from 1848. The "sprung die" feature is found on a certain percentage of the issue with the design comparable to the best preserved specimens of this date. Minor handling marks from a higher grade, but apparently this is as nice as this date comes, so don't wait for a better one. Always popular for the low mintage (16,788) and the Charlotte Mintmark. Certain to be a highlight in an advanced collection. Pop 5; none finer at NGC. (PCGS # 7750) .
Estimated Value $14,000 - 15,000.
