<B>1852-C $5 MS64 PCGS.</B></I> Variety 18-H. This coin and the Ex: Milas piece are from the same source. Both surfaced in the late 1980s from a group of 1852-C fives that originated in southern Indiana. Both coins are listed as #1 and #2 on Doug Winter's most recent Condition Census (this coin is the #1 specimen). The 1852-C is one of the more available Charlotte fives, but the real charm of this coin is its availability in such an extraordinary state of preservation. The fields are bright and prooflike, and the surfaces show an occasional dash of reddish patina that gives the coin even more eye appeal. A bit softly struck in the centers, as always. There are no singularly mentionable abrasions on either side of this splendid coin, and that is quite a remarkable statement as, "It is nearly impossible to find an example which does not show very heavily abraded surfaces" according to Winter. Housed in a green-label holder.<BR><I>Ex: Elrod Collection; Dallas Signature (Heritage, 11/2005), lot 2411, which realized $33,350.</B></I><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>)
