Lot 1382
1849-C $5 Liberty. NGC graded MS-63. This is an extremely rare coin in full mint state according to Breen, and this has been confirmed by the NGC Population Report, only 2 have been graded this high, with 3 graded higher. The surfaces show minor hairlines and we note a small dig on Liberty's neck, along the truncation line above the 4 in the date. Flashy luster in the fields, and the devices are all boldly brought up by the dies. Delicate coppery toning can be seen at certain angles when the coin is examined. A rare opportunity to buy one of the very best examples extant from this important southern mint.
Estimated Value $20,000 - 25,000.
