Lot 1128
1852-C $5 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-61. Nice strike for this date. Some luster still visable. The 1852-C half eagle is scarce enough in lower grades, with conditions such as Extremely Fine and About Uncirculated being desirable and also the norm. An Mint State 61 such as we offer here is truly remarkable. Taking a closer look, we see that the obverse is fairly well struck, considerably better than typically seen on a half eagle of this era, while the reverse eagle has occasional lack of detail in the neck feathers. Struck on a lustrous yellow-gold planchet. Pop 6; 11 finer. (PCGS # 8251) .
Estimated Value $5,000 - 6,000.
