Lustrous MS64 1854 Five Dollar
A Notable Condition Rarity From the 1850s

1854 $5 MS64 NGC. Specialists will surely appreciate this coin for the condition rarity that it is. The mintage of 160,675 pieces really does not give one an indication of the rarity of this date in AU and Uncirculated grades. Probably less than 200 pieces are extant today in the various grades of AU. But it is in mint condition that the 1854 really shines as a condition rarity. Fewer than 100 pieces are known in all Uncirculated grades. At the MS64 level, this is one of only seven coins certified by both of the major services, and none are finer (8/07). The surfaces are softly frosted and there are only the smallest abrasions present, none of which are worthy of mention. Sharply struck, except of course on the eagle's neck, as always seen on half eagles from this era.(Registry values: P5)
