Lot 1364
1842 $5 Liberty. Small letters. PCGS graded AU-55. An extremely rare coin above EF in grade, this lovely AU-55 piece will certainly attract attention from knowledgable numismatists. Minor handling marks throughout, none deep. A touch of wear on the high points, and there is a dull scrape on the 2 in the date. This issue is believed to have been the first struck and delivered on April 30, 1842, with a total mintage of 12,682. A delight for the specialist. The recent PCGS Population Report shows only 2 have been graded this high, with a single coin graded higher, none have been graded in Mint State according to that service.
Estimated Value $4,000 - 5,000.
