Lot 1488
1846-D $2.50 Liberty. NGC graded MS-62. Lightly toned. A lustrous example. Graceful underlying luster supports warm golden hues. A pleasing example of the date, definitely fully struck (unlike its often weak C-mint counterpart), with substantial detail in the head, coronet, and on the eagle and shield area of the reverse where this denomination tends to be weakest. This coin gives the impression of being one that was held out at the time of issue (a rare occurrence in its day) which would account for the strong detail and superior condition of the surfaces. Therefore, stop running around in circles hoping to find a better specimen and give it a firm bid. Only 19,303 pieces struck. Pop 2; 1 in 63, 1 in 64 (PCGS # 7742) .
Estimated Value $11,000 - 12,000.
