Lot 2009
1850-C. NGC graded AU-53. Light gold toning. Somewhat rough surfaces. The 1850-C is a generally underrated as a rarity, and indeed it is extremely rare in About Uncirculated or above. The present specimen is fairly well struck for the date given the time-frame in which it was produced, with the usual weakness at the eagle noted. Patches of frosty die roughness highlight certain portions of the reverse design around the devices, adding their own bit of charm. From a modest mintage for the date of 9,148 pieces, with many of today's survivors from that mintage just VF or so (PCGS # 7756) .
Estimated Value $2,500 - 2,700.
