1850-C $5 Liberty. NGC graded MS-61. 63,591 coins struck. Nice strike with light golden toning. What is most in full view when we examine this coin is its swirling, rolling-gold mint frost as though spraying outwards from a garden hose -- it swirls over each side unhindered by digs or abrasions, free of even a trace of tarnish. A coin with outward charm that will delight the serious collector of rare early branch mint gold. In more respects than one, the dies left their rigid impression behind with only slight imprecision, only a few are ever found this way. 1850-C tends toward mushiness. If your searches for a C-mint half eagle have turned up nothing but a parched wasteland of unacceptable choices, then this high quality piece should do admirably.Pop 9; 9 finer, 1 in 62, 3 in 63, 5 in 64 (PCGS # 8244) .
Estimated Value $9,000 - 10,000.
