1849'D'
|
AU |
$2,100.00
|
About Uncirculated. Boldly struck on a typically crudely prepared planchet, this coin shows irregular rims, reasonably sharp stars, and legend. Liberty's highest locks are weakly detailed as always. Gleaming lustre shares the surfaces with some copper-red toning areas. The 'D' mintmark is boldly doubled, especially at the base, not ''minutely'' doubled as the late Walter Breen noted.

Very Fine to Extremely Fine. This product of the New Orleans Mint has a pleasing overall appearance. Subtle orange-gold toning complements the original mint bloom still present in the protected areas of this classic Longacre design. |

VF to EF |
$260.00

Very Fine to Extremely Fine in terms of detail. This coin exhibits several contact marks. The most noticeable being on Liberty's cheek and through the obverse star at 8:00. This specimen has been polished and is bent most likely due to use in jewelry; 1851 Very Fine. This problem-free specimen shows wear suitable to the grade.

1851'C'
|
CH AU |
$2,000.00
|
Choice About Uncirculated. A strong strike yields overall bold detail. The fields bear faint red-gold toning and examination under a glass reveals a couple of old scratches and some scattered hairlines. Closed 'C' mintmark is more sharply impressed than the date. |

| 2175 |
1851'O'
|
AU |
$125.00

About Uncirculated. A wealth of detail is highlighted by toning in the recesses, New Orleans mintmark and date are both sharply struck for bold visual quality. |

$120.00

Choice About Uncirculated. This partially lustrous coin's wear is superficial but for a single minor scuff in the field below Liberty's chin. |

$210.00

Extremely Fine. This example is free of any major distractions and retains a surprising amount of lemon-yellow mint lustre; 1853 Extremely Fine. Virtually free of any distracting marks, this example still has some mint lustre hugging the rims by the denticles. 2 pieces. |
|
|
| 2178 |
1852'C'
|
EF |
$900.00
|
Extremely Fine. A rich honey-gold example of this scarce date. A small impression which appears to be a strike-through is found at 3:00 on the obverse. An interesting specimen of this low-mintage issue. |
|

1852'O'
|
EF |
$110.00
|
Extremely Fine. Wear is moderate but the coin's planchet has been warped at some point in an adventurous career. |

Another. About Uncirculated. Full detail on Liberty's locks testifies to a sharp strike. A glass finds a few trivial hairlines of little import. |

1853'C' Choice Brilliant Uncirculated
|
CH BU |
$8,500.00

Splendidly detailed as a result of a strong strike, this coin presents two-tone gold surfaces with mint frost especially bold around the rims and devices. One of 11,515 struck, and assigned an average grade of VF-35 by Akers. The 10-year Dannreuther-Garrett listing presents 46 appearance of this Charlotte date, only one finer than this extraordinary coin. |
