Lot 2389
1858-D $5 Liberty. PCGS graded AU-58. Light golden toning and nearly mint state. The 1858-D has a lower mintage than the 1857-D, but, while still very scarce, is a little less so than the latter. This is a well struck example of the date, with the centers quite strong compared to the 1859-61 issues in this area. The stars have nice radial lines in the centers while the denticles show better than average detail. Some old diagonal hairlines on the obverse near Liberty's nose. For the grade, the surfaces are choice, lustrous, and with no serious marks for the unaided eye to steady upon. Only 15,362 struck. Pop 17; 10 finer. (PCGS # 8278) .
Estimated Value $5,500 - 6,000.
