PCGS 1850 Moffat & Co. Five-Dollar XF 45. K-7a, R.4. An interesting coin, the hair curls of Liberty are weakly defined, as always. As stated in the Kagin reference, the eagle is quite crude on this variety, and there is evidence of considerable die crumbling on the lower reverse. The reverse is rotated about 300 degrees from alignment with the obverse. The light colored surfaces show a number of tiny marks, the most significant one being on the obverse out from stars 4 and 5. The reverse has a pebbly texture, most likely from having been struck from rusted dies. Listed on page 263 of the 1994 Guide Book.
