Lot 1582
1849-C $5 Liberty. NGC graded MS-61. Well struck with light golden toning. Strong metal flow with an almost prooflike tendency augments the already showy mint luster that covers the surfaces, giving the coin a brand new, glowing appearance right in line with its Mint State grade. No signs of cleaning. And best of all, none of the usual torrent of small marks. The mint brilliance is only broken up by a rare overlay of pale patina. Of course, collectors seeing the photos understand this coin is nicely struck for an 1849-C half eagle, best of all entirely so. Certainly a coin that gets proper mention where completeness of design is difficult to attain. 64,823 coins struck. Pop 10; 13 finer, 6 in 62, 4 in 63, 2 in 64, 1 in 66 (PCGS # 8241) .
Estimated Value $9,000 - 10,000.
