Lot 1461
1849-C $5 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-61. Well struck in natural greenish color gold. Only 64,823 pieces minted. Untoned and free from noticable contact marks. Lustrous. Part of an extensive collection (including a few duplicates) of the rare, desirable Charlotte Mint gold coinage. These rarely can be found in Mint State grades. As the population figures reveal in unembellished detail, survival in upper grades was extremely low. A beautiful example of the date. Pop 5; 6 finer, 3 in 62, 1 in 63, 2 in 64 (PCGS # 8241) .
Estimated Value $8,500 - 9,000.
