1866-S $5 NO MOTTO

Description

1866-S No Motto XF 45. This date is considered by some to be on the same rarity plane as the 1865-S although it has about a third of the mintage, with only 9,000 coins struck. It is also considered to be prohibitively rare above VF, and this attractive XF surely has to be of the few extant in a higher grade. There is a bit of rose-colored, satiny luster still remaining, and the strike is certainly adequate on the points you look for. The mintmark is a trifle weak and is mentioned for pedigree purposes only. Trends $6,250 in XF 40, $16,500 in AU 50 (5/23).
