Lot 910
1856-O $5 Liberty. NGC graded MS-61. A mere 10,000 were struck for circulation and nearly every one was spent. A decidedly scarce coin and almost unheard of in Mint State. NGC has graded this sole example with none higher. PCGS reports only two examples with one a point higher. Regardless of the population reports, this is a condition census coin and ranks among the finest known. For a New Orleans mint coin, this specimen is unusually well struck and exhibits some reflective surface within the protected areas around the devices. A coin for the discriminate collector.
Estimated Value $15,000 - 20,000.
