1859-C $5 MS62 PCGS.
1859-C $5 MS62 PCGS. Ex: Ashland City. Variety 27-M. Die State II. Tied for second finest known with the MS62 in the Michigan Collection, and only bettered by the fabulous MS66 coin formerly in the Elrod and Eliasberg Collections. Sharply defined on the obverse, the reverse shows the usual softness from an improperly annealed reverse die. The obverse fields are bright and glitter with sparkling prooflike reflectivity, a result of heavy die striations on that side. Even reddish-golden toning is overlaid on both obverse and reverse. Distinguished by a tiny dark spot of color in the lower left obverse field just above the end of Liberty's bust. Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
