Lot 1124
1851-D $5 Liberty. NGC graded MS-62. Nice frosty example. Scarce date in mint state. Fresh orange-gold with choice surfaces. Some striking weakness on both sides, not unusual for the date, mainly evident in the hair braid. A few light marks are noted as well, but the overall appeal is still quite strong. Fine to Extremely Fine is more typical of this issue, with Mint State specimens being quite rare.
On the obverse, the first 1 in the date is nearly entirely left of the point of Liberty's bust. The photo in the Akers reference shows an example of the date with that numeral nearly entirely under the point of Liberty's bust. Pop 4; 1 in 64.
Estimated Value $12,000 - 14,000.
Ex: Ashland City.
