<B>1857 $2 1/2 MS66 NGC.</B></I> This is a coin which will entice the specialist who demands splendid quality. Note the satiny and undisturbed nature of the fields and devices. Rich reddish tinted patina is also seen over each side, and the surfaces are nearly perfect in terms of physical preservation. The strike is sharp on all but the very center of the second star on the obverse, and strong on the figure of Liberty. The reverse is well defined on the eagle and claws, with the weakest area on this particular coin on the dentils on the left portion of that side. One of the finest examples that has survived of this issue, and a prize for the date collector. Census: 1 in 66, 0 finer (11/07).<BR><I>From The Madison Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Christian Gobrecht<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
