Pleasing XF40 1865-S Eagle

1865-S $5 XF40 NGC. This San Francisco Mint issue from the last year of the Civil War is rare in any grade: Gold coins were the only currency acceptable in California, and what coins were produced there generally entered circulation immediately, or else were exported for international trade payments. Only 27,000 or so pieces of the issue were produced, and even certified survivors--the top end of total survivors--average Choice VF. This XF piece displays pleasing reddish-gold patina on relatively mark-free surfaces, with just the expected wear but no singular impairments.(Registry values: P7)
