Lot 1380
1851-C $2.50 Liberty. NGC graded MS-61. Housed in NGC holder 5912750-004. Mostly well struck, bascially untoned with a few stray marks scattered about, none of which are too serious. Strikingly attractive throughout with no heavy abrasions present to sidetrack your enjoyment of the smooth details and bold relief. Only a few tiny contacts before Liberty's forehead. The rims, too, are free of problems. In judging the range of Charlotte and Dahlonega Mint coins, a typical grade is apt to be Very Fine or Extremely Fine. And often they are cleaned. When truly great assemblages of "C" and "D" mint gold are formed, however, then a few Mint State pieces come into play. But that is not often. Only 14,923 coins struck. Pop 9; 3 finer by a point (PCGS # 7760) .
Estimated Value $11,000 - 12,000.
