<B>1848-C $5 MS61 NGC.</B></I> Variety 11-E, the only known die pairing for the date. The mintage of 64,472 coins indicates a possibility that more varieties are waiting to be discovered. Some other Charlotte issues with similar or lower mintages have two or more known varieties. Examples include two varieties of 1849-C from a mintage of 64,823 coins, and three varieties of 1850-C from a mintage of 63,591 coins.<BR> This Mint State example is undoubtedly in or near the Condition Census for the date, with only a few finer pieces certified by NGC or PCGS. Both companies have combined to grade just four coins at the 61 grade level and six finer pieces. <BR> Both sides are sharply detailed and the surfaces are reflective, with pleasing green-gold color. A few insignificant marks on each side prevent a higher grade. Census: 3 in 61, 4 finer (10/07).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Christian Gobrecht<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
