1857-D $2 1/2

Description

1857-D AU 50 Obverse Field Repair. A very scarce date with a mintage of only 2,364 pieces. The example we offer here is nicely detailed and actually has some mint luster on the reverse. The obverse has been lightly cleaned, presumably to reduce the brilliance of some light scratches, the most obvious of which appears above Liberty's head. Otherwise, this coin is exceptional and still ranks as one of the nicest available to collectors.
