Lot 1985
1847-C $5 Liberty. NGC graded MS-61. Mostly untoned and a nice strike. Pale reddish to tawny-gold in color with a bold sense of originality, the surfaces reveal a few scattered obverse abrasions on the face and chin, but the fields are remarkable for their choiceness. That being the case, this date is also difficult to find fully struck. The present coin retains nice detail to the stars, hair, coronet, eagle, shield, talons, and for that matter, everything in-between. All this from a strictly above-average strike. Although space forces us to be abrupt with a coin's discussion, the coin itself, as rendered in the picture but best appreciated first-hand, is simply outstanding! 84,151 minted. Pop 7; 2 finer; 1 in 62; 1 in 63.
Estimated Value $10,000 - 11,000.
