1857-O $5 Liberty. PCGS graded AU-58. A condition rarity in this grade! The surfaces show moderate handling marks from circulation, while some of the luster adheres near the devices. Fully struck by the dies, with a mintage of 13,000 very few are found today in high grade. Breen notes in his Encyclopedia that this date is "prohibitively rare above EF", which is confirmed by the NGC and PCGS Population Reports. We note PCGS has graded 3 coins as AU-58, with 2 graded higher. NGC has graded 4 as AU-58, with 3 higher. Well up in the condition census for the date, and a specialists delight for its nice surfaces, good strike and pleasing gold color.
Estimated Value $5,000 - 7,000.

 
Realized $6,325
