Description

1866 With Motto Five, MS61
Extremely Rare in Mint State

1866 $5 MS61 NGC. Half eagle coinage at Philadelphia in 1866 amounted to only 6,700 pieces, all of the With Motto type. Fewer than 100 representatives are thought to survive in all grades, only a handful of which grade Mint State. This is one of those rare few. The NGC Census records four other Uncirculated coins, including one MS60, two more MS61, and a piece in MS63; PCGS lists just three Mint State coins, one grading MS61 and two others in MS62 (4/20). This example is sharp with partially reflective fields and rich honey-gold color. Scattered abrasions define the grade but none pose individual distraction.(Registry values: P3)
