Lot 3826
1850-D $5 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-61 PQ. Lovely rich shades of gold toning. Well struck with semi prooflike surfaces. Great eye appeal. 43,984 minted. Pop 2; none finer at PCGS. Citron-rose in color in the field surrounding Liberty, with lovely greenish gold topping the profile and so giving it contrast. The surfaces exhibit eye-opening striking definition as well. The dies left their sharp impression behind without the least weakness or imprecision on Liberty. Only a few stars on the lower left are weak. As far as the eagle goes, it display well featured wing feathers, some minor rounding on the neck and leg feathers, but all in all is a standout among half eagles of this date and mint. The man at the front podium who is conducting this sale will likely see a show of hands in the room as bidding begins. And the coin will deserve whatever price it earns since it is a showy one, and all original at that (PCGS # 8245) .
Estimated Value $25,000 - 30,000.
