Lot 1178
1841-C $2.50 Liberty. Sharpness of EF-40 but repaired and cleaned. The very minor repair work is over the eagle where some ink or other dark stain has been partially buffed off, some of the stain can be seen with a glass over the eagle's head and on the rim above the first S of STATES and additional buffing is noted on the second T of STATES. In addition to the repair work, the coin was harshly cleaned leaving a profusion of lines on the obverse, less so on the reverse. A scarce coin in any grade, and this one isn't as bad as we make it sound.
