Amazing MS66 1886 Five

1886 $5 MS66 PCGS. There are many condition rarities in the Liberty gold series, including examples of all denominations. The 1886 half eagle is just such a coin, from a mintage of 388,360 coins, suggesting that it is a rather plentiful date. However, it is seldom encountered in higher grades. For example, the finest of four Smithsonian Institution pieces is only AU58, according to Garrett and Guth.
This green-label Premium Gem is the lone MS66-graded piece known to PCGS, making it a potential trump for Registry collectors (6/08). Its bold detail and powerfully lustrous yellow-gold and peach-gold surfaces combine for amazing eye appeal.
