Description du lot

While not rare as a date, in this lofty state of preservation, the 1856 Slanted 5 is quite challenging! Indeed at this grade level the combined PCGS/NGC Population is 15, and only nine are finer between the two services. Billowy, brilliant golden luster has a satiny, frosted sheen that is truly a delight to behold. A two tone golden patina shows accents of sky blue iridescence in areas, visible as you rotate the coin in a light. Overall well struck with nicely defined details. The surfaces are clean and the eye appeal is wonderful. PCGS 11, NGC 4. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $5,250. The last non-CAC PCGS sold two years ago. With the strength of gold in this market, that APR has no bearing at all on current levels. Good luck. Cert. Number 5318196 PCGS # 7540
