Description

Elusive 1839-C Five Dollar, MS60

1839-C $5 MS60 NGC. Variety 1-A. This is a rare date in all grades, and survives from a mintage of just 17,205 coins. In higher circulated and Mint State grades, this issue is extremely elusive. Indeed, the opportunity to acquire a strict Mint State example seldom occurs, evidenced by fewer that 20 Uncirculated pieces certified by NGC and PCGS.
This MS60 example has bright greenish-gold surfaces that exhibit sharply struck design features, except for softness on some of the star centers and eagle's talons. Only a few tiny abrasions are present, and none distract from the overall appearance. For complete accuracy, we would say that the reverse is a trifle busier than the obverse.
