Lot 1571
1842-C $5 Liberty. Large date. NGC graded MS-62. Only 27,432 coins minted. Well struck with nice even golden toning. A few tiny marks at Liberty's chin are easily ignored considering the smooth overall appearance of originality; nothing hurts the delicate design features of Liberty. All stars are well made, as well, showing complete radial lines. The rim dentils below the date and to the right are slightly rounded but elsewhere, sharpness prevails. Pushing along to the reverse, there is a small mark at the eagle's neck feathers. But again, this is minor and seeing that the remaining surface is outstanding for a gold piece of the 1840s, almost miraculous. The entire coin is by all measures accurately graded and a treat for any advanced buyer of early date Charlotte Mint gold coinage. Watch the price action on this! Pop 1; 4 finer, 1 in 63, 2 in 64, 1 in 65 (PCGS # 8209) .
Estimated Value $15,000 - 16,000.
