Lot 1143
1855-C $5 Liberty. NGC graded MS-60. Only 39,788 minted. Well struck and untoned. A lustrous brilliant golden specimen with satiny devices and moderately choice fields, although there is a small nick beside the hair bun on the obverse. A classic C-mint issue, and also a rarity in any degree of Mint State.
Add to the foregoing the somewhat dated observation of David Akers', "I have seen just two Uncirculated pieces, the finest being the Garrett coin that sold in March 1976." The present Mint State 60 is high Rarity-7, indicating that few collectors will ever one an Uncirculated one! Pop 2; 2 in 61; 4 in 62; 1 in 64; 1 in 65. (PCGS # 8262) .
Estimated Value $10,000 - 12,000.
