Lot 1967
1834 $5 Classic Head. Plain 4. NGC graded MS-64 P.Q. There is much to say about the beautiful surfaces of this classic "Kneass" designed Liberty five-dollar coin since they are nearly perfect for the grade, a quality almost unimaginable in a MS64 coin. The mint frost is aglow with intensity over each side. There is just a bit of light patina as well. This is an otherwise strongly struck example, with nice detail to all the important high points, with the possible exception of these regions (standard for the issue): the lovelock curl beside the ear and the hair immediately above this point. All thirteen tiny stars are pinpoint sharp. A beautiful coin! Pop 57; 7 finer in 65.
Estimated Value $9,000 - 10,000.
