1850-D $2 1/2

Description

1850-D AU 58. Apparently sea-salvaged, as the fields show the even, light granularity noted on coins that have spent years underwater. Both sides are very well struck and this coin must have been uncirculated before it began its underwater journey. Most of the coins graded so far by PCGS and NGC gravitate to the XF 45 to AU 50 range, so this coin is certainly a few points better than average.
