Lot 918
1843-C $2.50 Liberty. Small date, crosslet 4. NGC graded AU-58. Bold strike with rich golden toning. The color on this handsome specimen complements the lustrous high grade of AU58 with its pleasing patina and look of originality. Furthermore, there are no obvious marks or heavy abrasions affecting the delicate surfaces, thereby putting it well ahead of most others seen around the level of preservation. The obverse rim is widest at the left and narrows slightly along the right, as it includes a "fin" or knife edge where some of the metal got squeezed between the obverse die and the collar die (which holds the coin in place during striking). Pop 13; 1 in 60; 3 in 61; 2 in 62. (PCGS # 7729) .
Estimated Value $11,000 - 12,000.
