Noteworthy 1844 Five, MS64

1844 $5 MS64 PCGS. As might be expected for its mintage of over 340,000 pieces, the 1844 is an easily acquired issue in most circulated grades, and below Mint State, it enjoys a deserved reputation as a "common" issue of the 1840s. Unworn examples, however, are substantially more elusive, and Select and better pieces are condition rarities. The present MS64 coin is one of just three examples in the combined certified population with only one finer; all such pieces are graded by PCGS (6/08). The yellow-gold surfaces are frosty and delightfully lustrous, and the well-preserved portrait and eagle offer exacting detail. Amazing eye appeal.(Registry values: P5)
