Lot 2295
1850-C $5 Liberty. NGC graded MS-61. In NGC holder 224447-013. Lots of luster. Struck in natural pale greenish color gold. Well struck with smooth, velvety luster and the yellow-gold shades typical of this branch mint's half eagles have a decided greenish tint, believed to be from trace elements in the natural gold alloy that was used to strike half eagles. If one were to take a poll, we'd see that the strike is nonstandard for the 1850-C issue in being sharp with the excellent metal flows on both sides into the deepest die recesses; in other words, a very bold strike. 63,591 coins minted.Pop 9; 9 finer; 1 in 62; 3 in 63; 5 in 64. (PCGS # 8244) .
Estimated Value $8,500 - 9,500.
