Flashy MS64 1847 Five Dollar

1847 $5 MS64 PCGS. A dazzling, heavily striated Mint State example with nearly complete sharpness in the centers. A cluster of field marks can be seen to the right of the portrait and a few abrasions are also noted on Liberty's cheek. There is an interesting die crack down much of the portrait, piercing the left serif of the 7 and into the border to the right of 6 o'clock. The 1847 is one of the more commonly encountered dates from the 1840s, even in Uncirculated condition, but near-Gems are elusive and their difficulty as a No Motto type coin far outweighs the scarcity of this particular issue. Population: 3 in 64, 2 finer (8/08).(Registry values: P5)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25TL, PCGS# 8231, Greysheet# 8893)

Weight: 8.36 grams
