Attractive Choice Uncirculated 1908-S Five Dollar

1908-S $5 MS64 PCGS. Only 82,000 pieces were struck of this first-year issue. While not quite as difficult as one might imagine (or as rare as it has been touted in the past), the 1908-S is, nevertheless, a very scarce item in a high grade. The surfaces of this piece show the soft, frosted mint luster that characterize this issue and the striking details are sharply defined throughout. A couple of grade-limiting marks are seen on the obverse device. Population: 70 in 64, 49 finer (9/04).(#8512) (Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 28DG, PCGS# 8512, GSID# 9318)

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
Weight: 8.36 grams
AGW: 0.24188oz
