Lot 2848
1849 $5 Liberty. NCS graded Details of EF-40. Mount removed yet sharp enough to earn favorable mention. This piece may once have adorned a wife or ladyfriend of some early 49er miner, since it has the "sweated" appearance of having been worn as jewelry. All the same, it is an historic relic of America's (and California's) colorful past and should be pursued by all interested collectors.
Estimated Value $4,000 - 5,000.
