1850-C $2.50 Liberty NGC MS61
<Our item number 136973><B>1850-C &#36;2.50 Liberty. NGC graded MS-61.</B> In NGC holder 1293449-030. Mostly well struck in natural greenish color gold on a problem free planchet. Subdued mint luster with mottled light toning. Only 9148 pieces struck. It is a fact that the 1850-C is generally regarded as the second most common C-mint quarter eagle from the 1850s. However, what is also true is that the issue becomes increasingly scarce in the higher grades with limited numbers few Mint States known. The peripheral details on this handsome coin are much sharper than average, which means it is an example that is strongly struck. Some of the interior devices show characteristic muting, noticeable at the eagle&#39;s feathers and talons, but it is important not to overlook the fact that the reverse die used here was only activated for a portion of the &#39;50-C production and was its first and only usage. A slight green-gold patina cover the very lightly abraded surface luster for an acceptably high grade. <B> Pop 14; 3 finer, 2 in 62, 1 in 63</B>, <B>&#40;PCGS # 7756&#41;</B>. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;12,000 - 14,000. <BR><BR>Our item number 136973<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/48jpegs/136973.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/48jpegs/136973N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
