Lot 2303
1854-C $5 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-61. Mostly well struck, although the mint-mark is a trifle soft as always. Quite lustrous and light yellow gold in color. A decidely rare coin and seldom seen in such high grade. The 1854-C is among the scarcer Charlotte half eagles. Only a handful of other Mint State coins are believed extant with 20 or more About Uncirculated pieces known. This particular coin is typically struck in the centers. However, it is atypical in that it has fresh mint luster over each side with few abrasions -- unlike the heavily marked coins often seen in lesser grades. Most examples of this variety show a lightly impressed mintmark. Pop 1; 4 finer; 2 in 62; 2 in 63. (PCGS # 8257) .
Estimated Value $10,000 - 11,000.
