1847-C $5 Liberty. NGC graded MS-63. In NGC holder 236364-004. Well struck and defect free with some scattered light hairlines and marks commensurate for the grade. A total of 84,151 were coined.
A relatively available issue in common circulated grades (Very Fine, Extremely Fine, or occasionally About Uncirculated), 1847-C becomes very elusive in choice Mint condition, as the population figures supplied in a moment will reveal. A satiny frosted MS63 with dynamic luster and brilliance throughout, no toning. A few light abrasions create the standard for the grade. A great deal of discussion also surrounds a coin's strike, particularly the strike on the rare C and D mint gold coins. This almost extravagantly beautiful 1847-C has excellent detail with no sign of weakness to the hair, the stars, the eagle, or the shield. Certainly a "must have" item for the specialist who will consider nothing inferior to pure aesthetic beauty in a coin. In an old NGC holder. Pop 2; none finer (PCGS # 8233) .
Estimated Value $26,000 - 28,000.
