1850, 1853-D, and 1856 Slanting 5 Gold Dollars

This beautiful premium Gem
Proof Indian cent is fully struck with a generally satin texture to the finish. Nonetheless, direct lighting calls forth endearing reflective qualities from the fields, especially on the reverse. That side of the coin exhibits a light golden-tan patina, the obverse more boldly toned in tannish-apricot with a tinge of pinkish-rose also evident at isolated viewing angles. From an estimated Proof mintage for the date of 400 to 500 pieces.
