1848-D $2.50 Liberty. NGC graded MS-60. Very well struck in natural pale yellow gold. Subdue mint luster with very clean surfaces for the grade. The sharpness is immediately evident in the hair waves, the coronet, all stars (not just some stars), and a vastly improved eagle. Compare with other D-mint strikes where often the eagle is poorly defined. With choice surfaces and medium to bright gold color the coin presents a showy elegance. Curiously, 1848-D is one issue that tends to come with comparatively fine eye appeal. That makes it an excellent nominee for a type set. Only 13,771 struck. Pop 4; 20 finer, 7 in 61, 8 in 62, 5 in 63 (PCGS # 7751) .
Estimated Value $7,000 - 7,500.
