<B>1859-C $5 MS62 PCGS.</B></I> 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. <BR><I>From The Waxhaw Collection.</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>)
