1854-C $2.50 Liberty
<Our item number 83513><B>1854-C &#36;2.50 Liberty.</B> <B>NGC graded AU-58.</B> Only 7,295 minted. Well struck and lightly toned. Pop 15; 5 in 60; 5 in 61; 6 in 62. A great rarity in high grades, especially so in choice AU58 as seen here. Charlotte struck just 7,295 of these, virtually all of which reached circulation and fall into much lower grades than offered here. The surfaces are a yellow gold to greenish in color, and we see the usual light haze or toning over the luster. As to the strike, this one really is typical. Noted student of the Charlotte Mint, Doug Winter, wrote in his reference on the series that &#34;Weak strikes are the rule for this date. The obverse is often blurry [fortunately note here!] on the hair around Liberty&#39;s ear. The reverse is always weaker than the obverse; the center and eagle&#39;s claws are invariably very weak….&#34; We note that the hair around Liberty&#39;s ear is, indeed, fairly well struck, especially so given the date, and the reverse shows the softness on the e agle&#39;s neck, thigh, claws and areas around the shield <B>&#40;PCGS # 7770&#41;</B>. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;6,000-6,500. <BR><BR>Our item number 83513<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/32jpegs/083513.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/32jpegs/083513N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES> <BR><DIV ALIGN="CENTER"> <TABLE> <TR> <TD><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/ilgebaylogo.JPG"></TD> <TD> 350 South Beverly Drive Suite 350<BR> Beverly Hills, CA 90212, USA<BR> Telephone: 310-551-2646<BR> Fax: 310-551-2626<BR> E-Mail: <A HREF="mailto:glenn@goldbergcoins.com"> info@goldbergcoins.com </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <font color=red> <h3>There is a 20% commission charge added to each and every lot.</h3></font> <P>We are one of the country's premier auction houses, specializing in U.S., World and Ancient Coins and Currency; Autographs; Manuscripts; Rare Books and other Fine Collectibles.
