Lot 2001
1852-D $5 Liberty. NGC graded MS-61. A bold strike with mint luster. Pleasingly bright and lustrous, both sides are warmly colored in vibrant hues. A smoothed rather than sharp impression was left along the rim denticles by the pressure of the dies that struck this; however, the centers show no suspicion of any weakness, they are well struck. We do not see why the same principle should not apply to this handsome Mint State as does to the others in this run of C and D mints: due to the low grading census, and due also to the current excitement in the marketplace for rarities, a strong bid is called for. 91,584 coins minted. Pop 10; 6 finer; 3 in 62; 3 in 63.
Estimated Value $10,000 - 11,000.
