1858-S $5

Description

1858-S XF 45. The first of the exceedingly difficult S-mint dates from the 1850s to the 1870s. With a very low mintage of only 18,600 coins, the few that still survive today, for the most part, grade VF and below. This piece has a bit of copper-colored patina, is well struck, and only shows normal signs of circulation. Trends $2,750 in XF 40, $8,250 in AU 50 (5/23).
