Liberty Quarter Eagles
1850-D $2 1/2 AU55+ PCGS. CAC. Variety 13-N. The 1850 Dahlonega two and a half has a meager mintage of 12,148 pieces, and is a rare find in Choice AU bearing a CAC seal. CAC has confirmed only 11 pieces as AU55 with just nine finer. The present lot is the sole example graded AU55+ by PCGS (2/24). It features a good strike for the remote Georgia facility, though portions of the reverse dentils are soft, and the eagle's claws and neck plumage show minor blending. Dashes of orange-red toning are prevalent on the upper-left obverse. Marks are fewer than expected for the grade and issue. Population: 1 in 55+, 29 finer. CAC: 11 in 55, 9 finer (2/24).
Ex: U.S. Coins Signature (Heritage, 10/2020), lot 3397.
