Scarce MS62 1857 Five Dollar

1857 $5 MS62 PCGS. Even though 98,188 pieces were struck of the 1857, it was not widely saved at the time of issue. Similarly, it is often an overlooked date by all but the most serious 19th century gold specialists. In spite of the MS62 grade, the main attraction of this coin is its outstanding mint luster. The luster is thick and softly frosted, the same as one would expect on a Gem coin. A few small abrasions are peppered over each side, which account for the grade. Sharply and evenly defined on each side. Population: 13 in 62, 15 finer (7/08).(Registry values: P5)
