Lot 1490
1848-C $2.50 Liberty. NGC graded MS-60. Only 16,788 pieces struck. Well struck and untoned. Some luster visable. An attractive quarter eagle with a nuance of faint greenish gold on both sides. The strike is virtually complete, although perhaps a hint of weakness is seen at a few of the stars, but nowhere else, which is a blessing. Regarding the strike, most C-mint pieces in the 1840s are poorly struck. However, with this fine collection we are finally having borne in upon us that conviction that the collector who assembled this group had found the secret to purchasing high-quality rarities! Pop 3; 12 finer, 7 in 61, 5 in 62 (PCGS # 7750) .
Estimated Value $10,000 - 11,000.
