Lot 1320
1838-C $5 Classic Head. VF-20. Well balanced for the grade, although there are moderate handling marks from a few years in circulation. The reverse die has a bisecting crack from just above the right wing of the eagle to the middle pair of olive leaves. One hidden dig is noted on the right shoulder of the eagle. Scarce, with only 17,179 minted, making this date the rarest of the short-lived type.
