<Our item number 98770><B>1856-C $5 Liberty. NGC graded MS-61.</B> Well struck and lustrous. A very sharply struck Mint State of the kind of quality one likes to describe for bidders of this actively collected half eagle design. Smooth luster blends effortlessly with pale golden orange highlights on the frosted surfaces. One would be hard put to find a more truly beautiful specimen of a popular C-mint date, either, in terms of its sharp features, with not even a smidgen of softness on the eagle's neck or leg feathers. Such a coin makes it easy to jump to the conclusion that we'll record a new high price for this date and grade, but the best advice is to come prepared to the expected competition. One of the most strikingly original half eagles from an earlier "name" sale. Only 28,457 coins minted. <B>Pop 5; 2 finer in 62.</B> <BR>Estimated Value $15,000-17,000. <I><BR>Ex: Ashland City.</I> <BR><BR>Our item number 98770<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://goldbergcoins.net/liv eauction/37jpegs//098770.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/37jpegs//098770N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
