Lot 2310
1858-D $5 Liberty. NGC graded MS-61. Well struck with light golden toning. The medium mintmark reverse. The 1858-D has a lower mintage figure than the 1857-D, but it is actually seen more often. A very well struck example of the date, it is reasonably well defined in the centers and borders, and this is unusual since most are weak in these areas. All but a few of the stars have full radial lines in the centers and the denticles show typical weakness at the lower obverse. In summation: a very attractive Mint State coin. To our eyes, it compares favorably with other pieces we have seen graded MS62 and we would not be surprised if the final price realized was indicative of this. Only 15,362 struck. Pop 4; 5 finer; 4 in 62; 1 in 65. (PCGS # 8278) .
Estimated Value $10,000 - 11,000.
