Lot 1588
1897 $5 Liberty. NGC graded MS-65. Well struck and frosty. The surfaces on this handsome Gem are judged by us to be bright gold in color, and quite lustrous, with the grade confirming its terrific quality. Don't expect the usual halfhearted impression left by the striking of the (sometimes worn) dies that made this issue, either, for we challenge anyone who suggests that the opposite is true. This is a very bold coin with sharp centers including hair, coronet, eagle, shield, as well as the stars and all legends (PCGS # 8394) .
Estimated Value $2,700 - 2,800.
