Lot 1385
1850-C $5 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-61. One for the date collector who demands quality and value for their collecting dollar. The surfaces show nice mint luster in the fields, and the stars, curls and feathers are all well struck. Critical examination with a loupe shows minor hairlines and trivial handling marks, but Liberty's face and the fields are better than you might expect for the moderate grade assigned. The coin counter stopped at 63,591 for the year, making this one of the more available dates from the popular Charlotte Mint. As to the Population Report, PCGS has graded 2 as such, with 3 graded a notch higher, and 2 more above that. A rarity in this grade, and this is not one of the "sea water" uncirculated coins found some years ago, and these have lightly etched (porous) surfaces.
Estimated Value $9,000 - 11,000.
