Lot 2297
1850-D $5 Liberty. PCGS graded AU-58. A nice bold impression with wide rims, although a trifle soft on the upper curls and mint-mark. Loaded with luster and light golden yellow in color. And when we say loaded, we mean that luster shine from within Liberty's hair and throughout the eagle's feathers (the deep, protecting recesses), as well as around the stars, date and legends, in keeping with the upper-end 58 designation of the grade. Such solid foundations mean that not one collector in ten thousand will regard this handsome 1850-D with nervous apprehension, except possibly when bidding begins. For then it will be seen that strong competition is in the room and propelling itself through the worldwide web as this coin is auctioned. Pop 7; 3 finer; 1 in 60; 2 in 61. (PCGS # 8245) .
Estimated Value $8,000 - 9,000.
