Lot 2026
1858-D $5 Liberty. NGC graded MS-60. Well struck and untoned. Lustrous greenish yellow gold with light orange patina in a few areas. A delightful example of this scarce issue, one of just 15,362 minted. Contact marks as expected for the grade, for virtually every other example from this mint went directly into the channels of commerce. A very rare issue when in grades similar to or finer than the present Mint State example. On the obverse stars, a few are sharp but others, mainly those at the left or towards the bottom, are more rounded to flat. But all in all the coin ranks high in the Condition Census, and also plainly has the advantage where artistic beauty is concerned. Only 15,362 coins minted. Pop 2; 9 finer; 4 in 61; 4 in 62; 1 in 65.
Estimated Value $8,500 - 9,500.
