Lot 587		1852 $2.50 Liberty. NGC graded MS-61. Choice and frosty with rich orange-gold patina over both sides. The facial features lack the usual nicks and scuffs, and so give it added appeal. Nothing ever changes in this most amusing country of ours. On December 29, 1852, Emma Snodgrass, referred to by East Coast newspapers as "the girl who has recently been visiting parts of New England in pants" was "again" arrested in Boston on a charge of vagrancy. Since Emma was regularly employed as a clerk, and paid her bills, the vagrancy charge didn't hold. She was released after the judge had given her some "wholesome advice about her eccentricities," to which she "responded with becoming grace and promised reformation." The next day, however, Emma was back on the street in her "male attire." Estimated Value $350 - 375. Frank McCarthy Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $357
