1849-C $5 Liberty. NGC graded AU-55. A diagnostic die crack extends from the rim across the front of the U to the laurel leaves. A bit of softness is noted on the curls above the ear and on the lower portions of the eagle. Some reflectivity remains within the protected areas, so this specimen must have been highly prooflike as it left the dies. Pop 23 with 30 pieces finer.
Estimated Value $3,500 - 4,000.
