Lot 1383
1849-D $5 Liberty. NGC graded MS-62. One of the very finest known from the original mintage of 39,036. This one has yellow-gold color throughout and is untoned. Deeply and well struck by the dies, with crisp details even on the upper design elements. The bagmarks are at a minimum for a half eagle, and this is an impressive example for the specialist. A recent NGC Population Report shows only 4 graded this high, with none graded higher. Similar at PCGS, where they have graded 7 as MS-62, with a single coin graded a notch higher. Seldom offered.
Estimated Value $10,000 - 13,000.
