Lot 4424
1842-C $5 Liberty. Large date. PCGS graded MS-63. Small mark on Liberty's nose. Well struck with nice golden toning. Lustrous medium to warm gold with a tint of olive overtones. A lustrous beauty from the Charlotte Mint. Nicely struck in all places (which is rare). This includes a nearly perfect eagle whose only diminishment is at the neck feathers. An important rarity in such splendid choice Uncirculated condition, much more so than the few others that have been offered in recent years. One of perhaps ten Mint State examples of the date reported, and our estimate may be a trifle high. Douglas Winter gives this date a High Rarity-7 rating in Uncirculated. It is clearly among the most illustrious Charlotte Mint half eagle offerings in this sale. Pop 2; none finer at PCGS (PCGS # 8209) .
Estimated Value $27,000 - 29,000.
