Description

1862-S Five Dollar, Fine 15
Rarely Seen S-Mint Issue

1862-S $5 Fine 15 PCGS. CAC. The 1862-S five dollar is much scarcer than its already modest mintage of 9,500 coins would indicate. As with all coinage in the hard money Western states this issue saw heavy usage in the channels of commerce with virtually none set aside for collectors. This is an especially pleasing example as it is unquestionably original. The surfaces have a two-toned appearance; most of each side is medium reddish-gold with deeper russet accents surrounding the devices on each side. A problem-free piece for the grade with no obvious or detracting marks.
