Lot 3216
1854-C $2.50 Liberty. NGC graded AU-58. A nice bold strike in natural greenish color gold and untoned. Most unusual in that this is a problem-free example. Only 7295 were minted. All known 1854-C quarter eagles are from a single die pair. This is a choice example. A decent strike, with some reverse weakness as usual, but overall quite bold. This particular variety is usually seen in a much less satisfactory condition with the obverse often blurry on the hair around Liberty's ear. The date logotype is high on 1854-C, with the peak of the 1 piercing the neck truncation. Some slight evidence of clashing is seen in front of Liberty's nose and neck. Pop 19; 5 in 60, 5 in 61, 7 in 62 (PCGS # 7770) .
Estimated Value $6,000 - 6,500.
