1860 $5 Liberty PCGS MS62
<b>1860 &#36;5 Liberty. PCGS graded MS62.</b> A satiny frosted lustrous example with dynamic mirrors in the fields whose luster shows richly with orange-gold color. A great deal of discussion also surrounds a coin&#39;s strike, especially on these early No Motto pieces. This 1860 has first-rate detail with no sign of weakness to the key devices. And unlike the 1861&#39;s high mintage, this year is much more difficult to obtain since few survive from the original 19,825 pieces struck &#40;The cause of the huge increase to over 800,000 half eagles for 1861 was panic deposits of bullion in order to get spendable coin before the inevitable hoarding caused all gold to disappear into hoards. It was a time of Civil War.&#41; A very rare issue this fine, with only 3 specimens graded higher and worthy of a strong bid <b>&#40;PCGS # 8284&#41;</b> <i>
