Lot 3837
1855 $5 Liberty. NGC graded MS-62. Nice strike with consideralbe mint luster evident. Pop 2; 3 in 63; 14 in 64. A beautiful coin, one whose luster races over the surface, vivid and yellowish gold in appearance. What's more, the fields acquit themselves nicely in terms of the fewness of marks. And whereas a blunt impression is often left after the recoil of the dies that struck this year's coinage at the various branch mints, we can report that this Philadelphia made specimen is outstanding in its detail and sharpness.
Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,000.
