1841-D $5 Liberty. Sm D NGC MS63
<Our item number 139350><B>1841-D &#36;5 Liberty. Small D. NGC graded MS-63.</B> In NGC holder 260341-011. A needle sharp strike and ablaze with golden mint luster. A total of 29, 392 were minted. No doubt about it, the 1841-D is one of the those elusive early D-mint fives typically seen in circulated grades, but rarely offered above About Uncirculated. Only a few Mint States are traced, possibly as few as two dozen, mainly in baggy lower Mint State grades.<BR><BR>The coin offered is a solid &#39;63&#39; coin that exhibits rich luster in the form of prooflike surface, the fields being shimmering and nicely reflective. For their part, the boldly struck devices provide more of a satiny texture, and again fully lustrous. We note some stray hairlines in the field and a small scuff that disturbs the mirror finish by Liberty&#39;s nose. However, both sides are exemplars of careful preservation, given the early date on this piece and the fact it had to suffer through the ravages of the Civil War &#40;hopefully well protected&#41;. Not in the league of the James Stack MS 65 by PCGS, perhaps, but still exceedingly attractive quality for the presently offered 1841-D. In an old style NGC holder. <B>Pop 4; 3 finer with 1 in 64, 2 in 65</B> <B>&#40;PCGS # 8204&#41;</B>. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;25,000 - 27,000. <BR><BR>Our item number 139350<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/48jpegs/139350.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/48jpegs/139350N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
