Rare and Uncommonly High Grade 1865 Five Dollar, AU 53 NGC

1865 $5 AU 53 NGC. This is a remarkably lustrous coin despite light rub and a moderately scuffy appearance. There are, however, no singularly objectionable abrasions, and the surfaces are well detailed with partial reflectivity in the fields. This issue's original mintage of 1,295 pieces is the sixth lowest in the entire half eagle series of 1795-1929. The number of About Uncirculated and Mint State survivors known to both NGC and PCGS is a mere 20 coins (11/00).
