1861-S $5 VF 30 NGC. A pleasing mid-grade example of a rare S-mint issue that is prohibitively rare in higher grades and unknown in Mint State. Very few of the 18,000 pieces originally minted have survived, and most are in low grades. This moderately worn piece is attractive for the grade, with original surfaces and no disfiguring abrasions. Still a relatively affordable coin, and perfect for a circulated set of S-mint half eagles.
