Lot 924
1844 $2.50 Liberty. NGC graded AU-58. A small chattermark in the field by the nose. Light yellow gold. Well struck and very attractive. Elusive in any and all higher grades, with Walter Breen's comment being as relevant as any: "Usually in low grades, prohibitively rare AU." Moreover, the mintage for this year is remarkably low for the era, just 6,784 pieces. A prize coin by any accounting.
Only one die pair has been recognized for this issue. The date logotype is large, and somewhat distorted. Pop 8; 3 better. (PCGS # 7734) .
Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,500.
