Description
1861-C Liberty Gold $5 PCGS AU53. This is the final coin produced at the Charlotte mint and it is believed that 800-900 were struck by the Confederacy after they took control of the mint. This one does have a small die crack in AMERI so could be from that group. Strike is good other than eagle's head and reverse has aqua-teal toning in some of the fields. Popular due to its association with the Confederacy and low mintage of 6,879
Condition
PCGS slab 4.0
Provenance
Auction for the benefit of Catholic Relief Services overseas emergency relief programs
