Lot 3840
1856-C $5 Liberty. NGC graded MS-61. Mostly untoned. 28,457 minted. Pop 5; 2 in 62. Gold-gold satin frost with more of a reddish tint than the greenish-yellow blush usually seen, and everything is boldly hypnotic on this fresh-appearing 1856-C. Since our observation is that this date is rarely fully struck, then this nicely detailed coin has every suggestion of precision manufacture. Yes, there are a few lower stars that lack central radial lines, but the eagle is, well, the eagle is outstanding, and refreshingly aloof from the run-of-the-mill brand seen throughout recent auction sales. With this coin, we've got a success rarely offered. Don't be late and miss the bidding, or your troubles will really begin since there might not be another chance for many months (PCGS # 8267) .
Estimated Value $15,000 - 17,000.
