1851-O $5

Description

1851-O XF 45. Considered very scarce in any grade, an XF should be considered a prize find. Most coins are found to be weakly struck on the hair curls around the face, but this piece is an exception to the rule. Although, not quite full, the strike is certainly above average for the date. Some luster is still seen under the devices, and there are only a couple of abrasions in the left obverse field. Trends $1,300 in XF 40, $4,750 in AU 50 (5/23).
