1867-S Five Dollar, AU58+
CAC, Sole Finest at PCGS

1867-S $5 AU58+ PCGS. CAC. The 1867-S half eagle gained no numismatic attention at the time of issue, instead becoming a commercial workhorse in the West during the Reconstruction era. Out of a mintage of 29,000 coins, fewer than 100 pieces are believed to survive in all grades. Only one of these -- graded MS61 NGC -- is known in Mint State. The present coin, Plus graded and CAC endorsed, is the sole finest example at PCGS. The coin retains modest luster in the fields amid peach-gold coloration. Minor strike softness is noted as usual on the hair curls around Liberty's face, but the eagle's neck feathers are well defined. Scattered light abrasions accompany the grade. Population: 3 in 58 (1 in 58+), 0 finer. CAC: 3 in 58, 0 finer (7/21).(Registry values: P3)
