Description

1856-C Five Dollar, AU50
Well Defined and Problem-Free

1856-C $5 AU50 PCGS. Variety 1. A well defined yellow-gold representative. Both sides display a smattering of small marks, but none are individually consequential. Mintages of Charlotte gold coins declined steadily after 1852, since West Coast bullion was increasingly struck at San Francisco rather than shipped to the Eastern seaboard. Population: 20 in 50, 38 finer (1/15).
Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 5/2008), lot 3256, which realized $2,990.
