Description

1866-S Five Dollar, AU53
Motto, Less Than 100 Known

1866-S $5 Motto AU53 PCGS. The 1866 San Francisco half eagle is scarce in all grades and just four have been reported in Mint State by PCGS while NGC has seen none (4/26). Brilliant yellow-gold luster envelops this About Uncirculated piece with lightly reflective fields. While there is some light strike weakness, it is typical for the issue, and marks are minimal compared to the coin's eye appeal. PCGS Population: 4 in 53, 8 finer (4/26).(Registry values: P3)
From The North Star Collection of $5 Gold.
