New 1842-O $5 gold. Show your Liberty Gold!

This is a tough date. CAC shows 20 for this date, but only 3 have crossed Heritage, StacksBowers and Great Collections. The date is difficult to find with nice color. The surfaces usually have an issue. I was happy to find one with an original look. CAC seems to care more about color than surfaces.

I bought this detail’s grade many years ago
