Lot 1598
1856-C $5 Liberty. NGC graded MS-61. Untoned and well struck. Only 28,457 coins struck. Nicely struck but with a few flat lower stars. Liberty and the eagle are impressively bold. Desirable too is the state of the fields, which show an almost entire avoidance of marks. Luster abounds throughout. The 1856-C is one of the scarcer dates from this Mint. As the 1850s wound down, mintage levels fell too, with 1856-C being especially rare in mint condition, as seen in the census: Pop 5; 2 finer in 62 (PCGS # 8267) .
Estimated Value $16,000 - 18,000.
