Description
1859 Five Dollar, AU50
Exceptional Old-Time Patina
1859 $5 AU50 PCGS. While Charlotte and Dahlonega issues of
the 1840s and 1850s get ample attention, many Philadelphia dates go
underappreciated, despite being often scarcer than their branch
mint counterparts. The 1859 is no exception: Only 16,734 pieces
were struck, and any example is a scarce find. The current AU piece
displays delightful old-time "crust" with deep orange-gold and
amber-honey patina. Some struck-in die grease appears on the ME in
AMERICA, and there are moderate field abrasions. Nonetheless, the
coin is decidedly attractive.(Registry values: P6)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25VB, PCGS# 8280, Greysheet# 8905)
