Lot 1158
1857-D $5 Liberty. NGC graded MS-61. Untoned with some luster. Some scattered bag marks. A satiny and lustrous example. Pale golden iridescence graces the light orange-gold surfaces. A rare Mint State survivor from a small mintage of only 17,046 pieces, this has a few old hairlines in the field but nothing in the way of rim problems or other surface injury. When seen the 1857-D is usually Very Fine, now and then Extremely Fine, but seldom Mint State. At the present level we would expect a large number of bidders to want it. Only 17,046 minted. Pop 5; 4 in 62; 2 in 63. (PCGS # 8273) .
Estimated Value $10,000 - 12,000.
