Lot 3835
1854-D $5 Liberty. Large D. PCGS graded MS-62. Well struck with light gold toning. Very choice for the grade. 56,413 minted. Pop 4; 2 in 63; 1 in 64; 1 in 65. Both sides are saturated in copper-gold brilliance that accentuates the ample remaining luster in the fields, within the devices, and in fact, spanning the entire surface. Foremost in our estimation of its beauty is the almost mathematically exact standards seen in the sharp hair curls and hair bun on Liberty, and likewise the strong detail of the eagle's wings, neck feathers, and legs, with only now and then a touch of soft detail. Owning such a coin will make the buyer feel that the sun is shining every day with the soft afternoon golden glow of this handsome $5 gold piece warming the face and lifting the spirits (PCGS # 8258) .
Estimated Value $10,000 - 12,000.
