Description
1848-C Two and a Half, MS62
Among the Finest Seen
Conditionally Rare and Underrated
1848-C $2 1/2 MS62 NGC. Winter-1. The final 8 in the date is
closer to the dentils than the bust, one of two varieties known for
this low-mintage Charlotte issue. The surviving examples number
between 200 and 250 pieces in all grades combined from the original
16,788-piece mintage. Mint State examples are rarely seen. PCGS and
NGC combined show a mere seven pieces at the MS62 grade and none
are certified any finer as of (10/25). While some 1848-C coins were
struck with buckled dies, this example shows little central
weakness and is better struck than most. Semireflective fields
surround well-defined central motifs and the stars are sharp. On
the reverse, even the eagle's legs, claws, and arrow fletchings
show above-average definition. Natural green-gold color offers
excellent eye appeal. NGC Census: 4 in 62, 0 finer
(10/25).(Registry values: P2)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25HB, PCGS# 7750, Greysheet# 8358)
