1847-C $5

Description

1847-C AU 58 PCGS. This second example is well struck and very lustrous with some abrasions seen on both sides. A few fine hairlines are clustered above the date but this is a satisfying, high grade piece that is far above average for the date.
In Mint State, the 1847-C is a very rare coin. There are 7 or 8 known in Uncirculated with the finest of these being the gem last sold as lot 982 in Part One of the Pittman Collection (David Akers, 10/97); it was later graded MS 65 by PCGS. The Paul Dingler Collection contains the second finest known, a PCGS MS 63 that was earlier in the Elrod Collection.
