Description

Uncirculated 1854-C Two and a Half
One of the Finest Known

1854-C $2 1/2 MS61 NGC. Variety 1 (formerly Variety 15-I). This date is considered scarce and the present high grade example survives from a mintage of just 7,295 pieces. Only about 105 to 145 of those pieces are known today in all grades, mostly in circulated grades from Very Fine to AU. Mint State pieces are rare, regardless of the numerical level, with only 6 to 7 separate examples believed extant. This piece has bright yellow-gold color with a touch of green, and satiny luster providing slightly prooflike fields. Typical of nearly all known examples, the centers show design weakness in the centers, especially on the lower parts of the eagle. Census: 5 in 61, 9 finer (11/09).(Registry values: P2)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25HY, PCGS# 7770, Greysheet# 8372)

Weight: 4.18 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
