Lot Title:

1856-C ICG AU-58.
|
Description:
|
Charlotte Mint gold has been red hot for a couple of years. There is no reason not to expect this trend to continue. This piece comes from the smallest Five Dollar mintage of the 1850s. A mere 28,457 $5 gold coins were struck. This coin has an unusually nice impression with full feathers on the Eagle's wings, and a fully struck head. The obverse is equally well struck with full hair and curl detail. This is not a baggy AU-58, and Charlotte Mint gold does not usually look this good.
This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.
