Description

Reddish-Tinted 1909-O Five Dollar, AU53

1909-O $5 AU53 PCGS. This is an unusually attractive example for both the issue and the grade level. It appears much finer at first glance, perhaps because of the rich reddish patina seen on each side that is normally associated with Uncirculated coins. The 1909-O is seldom seen in AU and Uncirculated grades (in spite of the numerous examples that tend to gravitate to our auctions). The mintmark is well-defined as are the other design elements. There is one surface flaw of note: a scratch from star 10 into the headdress. Perhaps this was enough for PCGS to net grade this coin.(Registry values: N2998)
