1865-S $5

Description

NGC 1865-S MS 60. A scarce issue overall, the 1865-S is very rare above VF, and was previously unknown above XF. According to Akers research done some years ago, the '65-S ranked second among all Coronet fives according to average grade, the average coin grading only Fine-18. This piece is far and away the finest known with no other mint state pieces certified by the major services. The coin is well struck with bright yellow-gold surfaces and only the most trivial abrasions on either side.
