Lot Description

A thoroughly appealing circulated example of this scarce and conditionally challenging early C-Mint $5 issue. Warm honey-gold color blankets surfaces that retain bold detail to all major design elements. Pleasingly smooth for the grade and sure to sell for a solid bid. This issue has a mintage of 44,277 pieces and, like all Charlotte Mint gold coins, suffered a high rate of attrition through circulation. Locating attractive, problem free examples at all grades levels is difficult, the present offering worthy of serious bidder consideration.
