Condition Rarity 1909 Five Dollar, MS66

1909 $5 MS66 NGC. The 1909 five dollar is a common date in Mint State grades through MS64. An examination of NGC and PCGS figures corroborates this, as the two services have certified more than 4,200 coins in this grade range. MS65 examples, with a certified population approaching 130 pieces, can be located with a little patience and searching. Premium Gems, on the other hand, are extremely elusive, and anything finer is nonexistent, at least as far as certified coins are concerned.
The rich apricot-gold surfaces of this MS66 specimen display hints of light green, and yield pleasing luster. A well executed strike leaves sharp definition on the design elements, though the eagle's shoulder is a tad soft. A couple of trivial marks are noted in the reverse fields, but these are well within the parameters of the grade designation. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire one of the finest certified representatives of this condition rarity. Census: 6 in 66, 0 finer (6/08).(Registry values: N7079)
