Lot 1992
1850-C $5 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-61. Nice green gold color. Well struck with smooth, velvety luster and the yellow-gold shades have a decided greenish tint, believed to be from trace elements in the natural gold alloy that was used to strike half eagles. If one were to take a poll, we'd see that the strike is nonstandard for the 1850-C issue in being sharp with the excellent metal flows on both sides into the deepest die recesses; in other words, a very bold strike. 63,591 coins minted. Pop 4; 8 finer; 2 in 62; 2 in 63. (PCGS # 8244) .
Estimated Value $9,000 - 10,000.
