<B>1856-C $5 --Obverse Improperly Cleaned--NCS. Unc. Details.</B></I> Variety 24-J, the only known dies. Both sides of this piece are fully detailed, and no evidence of wear is visible. It is strictly Mint State, but has a small patch of hairlines on the obverse, caused by abrasive treatment. The balance of the obverse, and the reverse, are highly appealing. Unlike some others, this piece is not a seawater coin, but was subject to past improper handling, probably by one person. Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth note that this date was believed unknown in Mint State as recently as two decades ago, although the Smithsonian Institution has a wonderful Mint State example, either from the National Numismatic Collection, or the Lilly Donation.<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>)
