Description

1864 Five Dollar Liberty, AU53
Scarce in All Grades

1864 $5 AU53 PCGS. The 1864 is a rare and underrated Philadelphia issue, boasting a mintage of only 4,170 pieces. Only 60 to 75 pieces are believed known in all grades according to PCGS, which is in agreement with the auction appearance rate of this issue. The present AU53 piece displays strong detail and rich orange-gold patina, with trivial marks that accompany the light wear. We have seen only a handful of AU-level pieces in recent years, and Mint State coins are prohibitively rare, with only two such coins reported at PCGS. Housed in a green label holder. Population: 6 in 53, 13 finer (7/22).(Registry values: P7)
