Lot 2125
1852-D $5 Liberty. ICG graded MS-63. An extremely rare coin in any mint state grade, PCGS in their Population Report notes only 4 coins have been graded as Mint State, with the best there MS-63. The rims are somewhat weak as struck, and this coin may have been exposed to seawater, as the surfaces are slightly matte in appearance (but less so than usual for the date). This is a judgment call, and something we'll leave to the experts in this series, as the coin may just be a normal issue. Luster in the protected areas and an important coin for the specialist, however it's judged. Certainly one of the best known of this date.
Estimated Value $10,000-UP.
