Lot 2285
1847 $5 Liberty. NGC graded MS-64. Well struck and untoned. A thrilling example of this always-popular No Motto Type. This exceptional coin is brilliant and very nicely struck, fully struck, in fact, including all of Liberty's curls and hair bun, the word LIBERTY itself on the almost-razor edged coronet. Regarding this date, the clearest details on the eagle are found throughout the wings, the neck feathers, the shield, and peripheral areas encompassing the key legends and denomination. The facial profile on Liberty is free of marks, an almost astounding statement for a gold piece mintage 160 year ago! Pop 8; none finer at NGC.
Estimated Value $9,000 - 11,000.
