1865 $5

Description

1865 VF 30. Another elusive date in the series with a scant mintage of only 1,295 coins. The 1865 has the fourth lowest mintage of any Liberty half eagle, and the sixth lowest mintage in the entire half eagle series. This specimen resembles many of the other Liberty fives of the period in that, it shows quite even wear. There is a small horizontal scratch from below the twelfth star to Liberty's neck, which is mentioned for pedigree purposes only.
