Lot 1558		1858-D. NGC AU Details, repaired. Attractive golden toning and to the naked eye, looks quite nice. Only 15,362 minted of which merely 165 examples are estimated to have survived. The Braided Hair, Coronet, or Liberty Head motif $5, featured a small head of Liberty with her hair styled compactly, tied at the back with a string of beads. She wears a coronet inscribed LIBERTY. Stars surround the border, and the date is below. The Liberty Head motif by Gobrecht underwent several transitions, and a study of the various forms as used on cents of 1839 (in particular) and $10 gold coins of 1838-9 can be quite fascinating. The most desirable branch mints in this series are (in no particular order) Dahlonega "D", Charlotte "C", and Carson City "CC." (PCGS # 8278) . Estimated Value $850 - 900.

Lot 1565		1860-D. Medium D. PCGS graded MS-62 CAC Approved. A nice strike with lovely golden toning and a Premium Quality coin for the grade.

Lot 1567		1861. NGC graded AU-58. Popular no motto type. When War was declared between the forces of the North and South in early 1861, depositors scurried to the Philadelphia Mint to have their bullion turned into serviceable coins. It is likely for this reason that mintage exploded to 688,000+ pieces for the 1861 $5 gold which far outdistances other dates both before or after. In fact, this mintage would not be surpassed again until 1880 at Philadelphia! (PCGS # 8288) . Estimated Value $500 - 550. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $863
Lot 1568		1861. PCGS graded AU-55. Some luster still present. With Civil War breaking out early in 1861, bullion deposits to the Philadelphia Mint increased markedly -- compare mintage figures in all the gold denominations to 1860 and before and the increase is obvious. Each depositor had his reason for turning metal into coin (PCGS # 8288) . Estimated Value $500 - 525. The William H & Beuelaress K. Helem Collection.
