Lot 3693
1851-C $2.50 Liberty. NGC graded MS-61. Well struck with light gold toning. Only 14,923 minted. Pop 8; 2 in 62. Bright with tawny-gold to greenish color that includes a region of coppery orange beside Liberty and around the eagle. Both sides exhibit scattered blemishes with a small nick at the eyebrow and another on the lower edge of the chin. A ineffectual imprint was sometimes left by the rebound of the dies that struck this year's coinage, but on the present coin, any softness is limited to the hair curls above the ear, on the shield horizontals, and just barely affecting the topmost feathers of the eagle's leg. The coin has a very attractive appearance, and is far more lustrous than others in this condition (PCGS # 7760) .
Estimated Value $10,000 - 13,000.
