1856-O $2.5 AU58 PCGS CAC

Scarcest New Orleans $2.5 from the 50's and a great sleeper date, known only to specialist. 1856-O $2.5 from a mintage of 21,100 only 125 are known today in all grades. Of the remaining survivors most lack eye appeal and are close to never original. This present example unlike many others has great eye appeal with a wholesome green-gold hue. No AU58 sale has taken part for over 12 years! And certainly NO CAC sale as well. Finer than AU58 there are a few unc, PCGS estimates 6, and a CAC example would cost close to $50K+ for the next CAC MS63 if available. PCGS cites a Price Guide of $5,750. A beat up NGC MS60 that is clearly a C coin sold for $6,900 03/21 HA. This would serve well in any collection.
