Lot 1485
1846-C $2.50 Liberty. NGC graded MS-62. Well struck, untoned, and lustrious. Only 4,808 struck. Among the finest known. There are as few as six Mint State 1846-C quarter eagles known, the finest being the ex Elrod, Eliasberg, John Clapp, and David Wilson coin in MS 63. The Condition Census piece offered for sale here is among an elite offering of MS62-graded specimens. Nicely struck for the issue with just minor roughness seen at the obverse stars (as made). The surfaces are choice, clean, and with no deep or distracting contact marks. What's more, the luster is semi-granular in texture, with here and there some semi-prooflike glitter in the fields. It would seem to collectors just now that the only thing worth doing in the world is to settle down somewhere comfortable and prepare a strong bid. Pop 2; 1 finer in 63 (PCGS # 7741) .
Estimated Value $15,000 - 17,000.
