Lot 2312
1858-D $5 Liberty. NGC graded MS-60. NGC holder 1723666-002. Boldly struck and lustrous. Light yellow gold. Outstanding detail and as well struck over both sides with sharp detail noted at the centers and if not the borders. Attractive, brilliant gold color covers both sides as well. There are some light hairlines and softening in the luster accounting for the MS60 grade. It is unlikely that a more original example of this issue exists, however, and we highly respect the collector who ends up with it.
The 1858-D is more available than the 1856-D and the 1857-D, especially in higher grades. There are an estimated 30-35 pieces known in AU grades, as well as fair number but not too many in Uncirculated. Pop 2; 9 finer; 4 in 61; 4 in 62; 1 in 65. (PCGS # 8278) .
Estimated Value $8,000 - 9,000.
