Lot 1208
1899 $5 Liberty. NGC graded MS-64. Well struck and untoned. A tiny mark above the date. Bright golden in color with strong luster and all the charm and appeal expected of the grade. The 1899 gold pieces, especially the larger denominations from $5 to $20, tend to be seen with very deep "heavy" frost from the dies. Why this should be so can no longer be known since the die preparer long ago went to the Great Minting Facility in the sky. Pop 1340. (PCGS # 8398) .
Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,100.
