Description

1865-S Half Eagle, AU55
Scarce San Francisco Issue

1865-S $5 AU55 NGC. Deep ochre-gold luster graces this example with some notes of deepening patina that accentuate the devices. There are some light marks around the coin, though none of which prove overly distracting to the appeal of this well-struck piece. The 1865-S is scarce in all grades, with NGC reporting less than 100 and just six in Mint State, making the present example an important opportunity for San Francisco collectors.
