Lot 1110
1848-D $5 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-61. Well struck with nice gold toning. Lustrous surfaces with plenty of brightness in the field areas. Devoid of all but a few trivial marks and hairlines, those chiefly visible under low magnification. A very rare date in About Uncirculated or finer despite a mintage of 47,465 pieces. Typically found only Fine to Very Fine or so (with Extremely Fine coins fairly scarce in their own right). Regarding this date, David Akers wrote: "Above EF it must be considered a major rarity." Pop 1; 3 in 62 as best by PCGS. The scuff on the reverse is on the holder not the coin (PCGS # 8238) .
Estimated Value $10,000 - 12,000.
