Lot 1479
1879-S $5 Liberty. NGC graded MS-64 Prooflike. A needle sharp early strike with blazing untoned prooflike surfaces. The golden luster on both sides twirls with a highly reflective nature, the word "sparkling" springs to mind. From the luster, we next take stock of the details of the design. Given the proper amount of strike pressure, the coin was fully brought up by the dies including all stars and central hair, with a sharp edge on Liberty's coronet. The eagle on S-mint half eagles tends to be well made, also, and this is born out here. Highly treasured in this condition. Pop 1; none finer (PCGS # 8350) .
Estimated Value $6,500 - 7,500.
