Lot 3831
1852-C $5 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-62. Well struck with nice light gold toning. 72,574 minted. Great eye appeal. Pop 3; 4 in 63; 6 in 64. Rich orange-gold with a warmness to the color that is nicely layered over each side of what to all appearances seems like a higher grade specimen. As to the next qualification, the strike, here we see quite good detail including full stars, with not even minor weakness to the sharp centers of Liberty's hair. On the reverse, the eagle is bold, with perhaps the sole exception of some rounded neck feathers that may not stand out as sharply as on the P-mint half eagle this year. The luster is nice and fresh, and so gives itself free play on your optical nerve when viewing it up close with a magnifying lens (PCGS # 8251) .
Estimated Value $6,500 - 7,500.
