Lot 1240
1842-D $2.50 Liberty. PCGS graded AU-55. With a mintage trickle of 4,643 coinage stopped for the year. This is one of the top 20 known, with none yet graded as full Mint State by either PCGS or NGC. Boldly struck for this Mint, with full device detail throughout. We note minor handling marks on the surfaces, and delicate coppery tones on the few worn curl tips. Luster in the fields, and a choice coin for the advanced specialist. The PCGS Population Report shows 6 graded this high, with a scant 4 graded in AU-58, and again, none higher.
Estimated Value $9,000 - 11,000.
