Lot 1182
1848-D $2.50 Liberty. Sharpness of AU-50 but cleaned and repaired. Close inspection, and we mean close reveals that this coin was probably mounted at one time. The reeding on the edge shows some darker areas within some of the tiny reeds, and these appear to have been carefully buffed down. The obverse and reverse rim show some strange depressions, all of which have been smoothed down as to be scarcely noticeable. This is a rare and valuable coin in high grade, and the repair work is expertly done and is virtually invisible.
Well struck for the date, with full details on Liberty and even complete thigh feathers on the eagle. Well worth inspecting as even the light cleaning fails to make this coin less desirable. One to view carefully before the sale and calculate a reasonable bid.
