Description

1923-S 5C MS65 PCGS. All factors considered, this is an extraordinary representative of this often ill-produced issue. The well-preserved fields shine with soft, slightly satiny luster. Delicate aqua tints drape otherwise nickel-white surfaces, a far cry from the unattractive golden-brown toning more commonly seen on high-end representatives. The strike is exceptionally bold as well, particularly on the frequently troublesome braid; on the reverse, the bison is impressively sharp, especially on the head and shoulder. Amazing eye appeal for the grade. PCGS has certified just two finer examples (6/08).
