Lot 1576
1845-O $5 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-62 HW Bass Jr. Coll. A needle sharp strike, quite unusual for this mint. Lovely pale greenish-golden luster throughout. The color takes on even lovelier proportions from the lustrous honey gold accents with attractive luster. Nicely struck in all areas. Second only to the MS63 example in the same Harry Bass sale and two others graded by PCGS (see below). An incredible specimen, and an incredible opportunity.
Some die characteristics include: Many of the vertical stripes on the reverse shield extending well into the horizontal lines above, with many also projecting downward through the shield border into the eagle's feathers. Pop 1; 3 in 63 (PCGS # 8225) .
Estimated Value $10,000 - 11,000.
