Lot 4671
1850-C $5 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-61. Only 63,591 minted. Well struck and untoned. What is most in full view when we examine this coin is its swirling, soft-gold mint frost as though an integral part of the metallic content -- it bathes each side unhindered by digs or noticeable abrasions, best of all free of coppery tarnish. A coin with outward charm that will enliven any serious collection of rare early branch mint gold. In more respects than one, the dies left their rigid impression behind with only slight imprecision, only a few are ever found this way. Given the desirable grade, it never deviates from the strict standard used for this grade. Pop 4; 8 finer, 2 in 62, 2 in 63, 4 in 64 (PCGS # 8244) .
Estimated Value $8,500 - 9,000.
