Description

Rare 1865-S Five Dollar, Choice AU

1865-S $5 AU55 NGC. Like all of the S-mint half eagles of the 1860s, the 1865-S is a major rarity. The half eagle was the favored denomination in the Old West, and what few examples were struck circulated extensively. This Choice AU piece has lots of luster over orange-gold surfaces that are moderately abraded, reflecting a short spate in circulation as well. The coin is well but not fully struck, with minor weakness on the high-point hair curls on the obverse and the fletchings on the reverse. Census: 21 in 55, 14 finer (3/10).(Registry values: P7)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25VX, PCGS# 8299, Greysheet# 9043)

Weight: 8.36 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
