Lot 1570
1845-D $5 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-61. Boldly struck with lovely golden toning and untouched surfaces. Pleasing and lustrous are the satiny surfaces which includes light golden to pale reddish-gold color. Much surface smoothness is seen, particularly on the obverse. There is a slight depression on the cheek (as made). A truly notable, indeed impressive example of the D-mint issue this year. Collectors have long lamented the fact that Dahlonega Mint pieces are notorious for their unavailability in Mint State, the ultimate business strike classification. We are happy to present this well struck coin for your approval.
(A fine reverse die crack runs horizontally across the bottoms of ERICA, then to the tops of FIVE D, then crossing the U in UNITED, terminating at the second upright of that letter. This is seen on a number of the (usually lesser grade) 1845-D survivors.) Pop 8; 6 finer at PCGS (PCGS # 8224) .
Estimated Value $8,000 - 8,500.
