<B>1853-C $5 MS62 NGC. CAC.</B></I> Variety 20-H. The year 1853 was a relatively good one at the Charlotte Mint. The mint managed at least a small mintage of gold dollars, and the Liberty Head half eagle mintage exceeding 65,000 pieces ensured that this issue would remain among the most plentiful of the C-mint fives. The coins were also well-produced, with many examples showing a decent strike, along with good luster and color. This piece shows a few light field abrasions that preclude a finer grade, but the strike is particularly strong on the eagle, and only light weakness shows on the shield stripes. On the obverse all of the star radials are full, and only a hint of lightness shows on the hair curls below ER. The greenish-gold surfaces radiate bold luster and demonstrate considerable prooflikeness. A sharp and attractive example of the issue. Census: 7 in 62, 6 finer (3/08).<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>)
