1851-C $2.50 Liberty. ICG graded AU-50. Sharply struck on all devices, but the surfaces show light roughness and a few stray handling marks, and this one may have been lost and recovered from an environment other than a collectors loving hand. Nevertheless, this is a rare date and a very difficult coin to find in high grades. Yellow gold in color with a trace of haze. Mintage of only 14,923, most of which were lost or circulated to much lower grades.
Estimated Value $2,400 - 2,700.

 
Realized $2,415
