Lot 2018
$5 Liberty. 1839. PCGS graded AU-55. Lovely surfaces and color for this issue, with a full strike on all devices. Examination with a glass will note trivial handling ticks, mostly in the fields, but none are deep or detracting. Slightly matte in appearance from many decades in storage, but quite lustrous. Exceptional quality for the grade (PCGS # 8191) .
Estimated Value $800 - 900.
From the Benson collection and purchased from Ira S. Reed's auction of December 2, 1944 for $21.00.
