Tied for Finest Certified at PCGS
1849 Pacific Company $2.50. Silver Die Trial. K-2. Rarity-6+. AU-55 (PCGS).
This is a richly original, aesthetically pleasing example that would be just right for an advanced collection of private and territorial gold coinage. Warm pewter gray patina blankets both sides, and the obverse has bold midnight blue outlines to the design elements. The devices on the reverse are ringed in golden-copper iridescence that yields to vivid blue and pink undertones. The strike is essentially full and, indeed, this satiny beauty is not far from full Mint State quality. Wispy handling marks are mostly minor and easily overlooked, although there is a concentration of light scrapes near the left reverse border before the digit 2 in the denomination. Premium quality for the assigned grade, and a delight to behold, this is a highly desirable counterpart to the legendary 1849 Pacific Company $1 offered above.
PCGS Population: just 3; 0 finer.
