Lot 1570
1841-C $5 Liberty. NGC graded MS-61. Lovely golden toning and a bold strike. Indeed, the strike on this early C-mint rarity is all that could be desired: full stars and hair waves (including the long curl above the ear which is exquisitely detailed, clear hair bun and beaded cord. There is a single short hairline in the field between the first two stars on the left. Consistency is also a hallmark of the reverse where the eagle projects its feathers and shield detail for all to admire. The leaves show their central veins; the arrows, their central shafts. Bold square rims act like a picture frame around the entire composition. A worthwhile bid is called for to obtain this handsome specimen. Only 21,467 coins stuck. Pop 4; 3 finer, 2 in 62, and 1 in 64 (PCGS # 8203) .
Estimated Value $11,000 - 13,000.
