Lot 3848
1860-C $5 Liberty. NGC graded AU-55. The otherwise orange-gold color yields to warmer golden-rose hues in places, with ample luster throughout. Typical detail for a half eagle made at this Southern mint, with just a dash of weakness at the hair below LIBERTY and the neck curl, but more extensive weakness as though from a worn-out die on the eagle, branch, and arrows. Very scarce in all grades from a mintage of 14,813 pieces. Pop 16; 45 finer.
Estimated Value $4,500 - 4,800.
