Lot 1465
1849-C $5 Liberty. NGC graded MS-61. Nice and problem free with delicate light toning. Strong metal flow with frosty tendency augments the already showy mint luster that covers the surfaces, giving the coin a brand new, glowing appearance right in line with its Mint State grade. No signs of cleaning. And best of all, none of the usual torrent of small marks, only a scattered few here and there. Of course, collectors seeing the photos understand this coin is more than adequately struck for an 1849-C half eagle, best of all with only localized weakness on the left leg of the eagle. Certainly a coin that gets proper mention where completeness of design is difficult to attain. 64,823 coins struck. Pop 11; 14 finer with 6 in 62, 5 in 63, 2 in 64, 1 in 66 (PCGS # 8241) .
Estimated Value $8,000 - 9,000.
