Lot 1489
1847-D $2.50 Liberty. NGC graded MS-63. Well struck and untoned. The obverse is frostist on the head of Liberty with a slightly reflective texture in the field that becomes more lustrous at some of the stars. The reverse tends to be more frosty with thin raised die polishing lines left behind after striking. Given the proper amount of strike pressure, the coin was fully brought up by the dies, which adds another layer of desirability to what is already a very presentable specimen of this scarce gold issue. The 1847-D is just a smidgle more plentiful than the 1846-D in most grades, although at this end of the Mint State census, the 1847-D is quite rare. Possibly no more than 10 to 12 Uncirculated pieces exist across a range of grades. Only 15,784 struck. Pop 1; 1 in 64, 3 in 65 (PCGS # 7746) .
Estimated Value $18,000 - 20,000.
