Formidable Near-Gem No Motto 1852 Five

1852 $5 MS64 NGC. Despite a plentiful mintage of over half a million pieces, the 1852 is not as available as one might expect in the better states of preservation. Garrett and Guth (2006) comment on this issue: "Mint State coins are scarce, and there are probably fewer than 150 pieces known at that level. Choice examples are surprisingly rare."
This satiny example is canary-gold with slightly deeper orange toning near the rims. A sharply struck and important example of the conditionally rare No Motto type. NGC has graded just three coins finer, while PCGS acknowledges none above MS64 (12/08).
