Lot 1146
1856-C $5 Liberty. NGC graded MS-60. Only 28,457 minted. Lovely gold toning on both sides. Nice strike. Beautiful orange-gold with amber iridescence; the overall crisp detail and appearance are of a much finer grade, but the surfaces are muted enough that the grading service assigned it to the minimal Uncirculated grade. The 1856-C is a rarity in all grades, of course. For the great majority, the present coin, with its very attractive surfaces that remind one of the choice specimens of a later generation, will represent a beautiful addition to an advanced cabinet. Pop 5; 5 in 61; 2 in 62. (PCGS # 8267) .
Estimated Value $14,000 - 16,000.
