Lot 2320
1860-D $5 Liberty. Medium D. PCGS graded MS-61. As usual, a bit softly struck in the centers, but what is not usual is the complete mint luster. Highly lustrous orange-gold surfaces are a treat for the eye. The mintage of the 1860-D amounted to fewer than fifteen thousand pieces, of which only a handful survive in any grade. The present piece is one of the elite coins that have been graded Mint State by PCGS. Others of this rare date have been represented in some of the most prestigious collections in numismatic history, including those of King Farouk of Egypt, the Norweb family, and Harry W. Bass, Jr. among many others; what better company could be attached to this rarity? Perhaps your name will soon be added to this illustrious list. Pop 7; 7 finer; 6 in 62; 1 in 64. (PCGS # 8286) .
Estimated Value $12,000 - 14,000.
