Lot 1360
1839-C $5 Liberty. NGC graded MS-60. Mintage for the year came in at 17,205. For a brief time the branch mints placed their mintmarks on the obverse, just above the date as seen here. Within a brief time the mintmarks were moved to the reverse, where they stayed for the rest of the century. This particular coin has nice surfaces, although there are extensive handling ticks to be expected for the grade. The strike is full at the centers and just a few stars are radial line challenged. Luster resides near the devices, and the coin has a pleasing appearance. One tiny planchet flaw below the 83 in the date will serve to identify this coin. NGC has graded 2 as such, with 5 graded higher. In NGC holder #289289-012.
Estimated Value $15,000 - 17,000.
