1854-D $5

Description

1854-D MS 60 Seawater. Faint surface granularity, presumably a sea-salvage coin. This is marvelous piece which shows no wear, bold details, and a pleasing, yellow-gold color. Considering that the vast majority of this issue survives in AU or worse conditions, we must conclude that this is one of the finest examples available to collectors today. In fact, PCGS has graded only 1 mint state example as of 4/94, and NGC has graded only one MS example (an amazing MS 65).
