Lot 1370
1844-C $5 Liberty. NGC graded AU-58. Despite the mintage being interrupted on July 27, 1844 by a burglar, who burned down the Mint which halted production for a few years, a total of 23,631 were coined. Few survived in grades above EF, and this nearly mint state example is no doubt high in the condition census for the date. Well struck by the dies, and there are minimal handling marks on the coin. Some luster resides near the devices. NGC reports only 6 graded this high, with 4 coins graded higher.
Estimated Value $8,000 - 10,000.
