Description

Seldom-Seen 1869-S Five Dollar, AU55

1869-S $5 AU55 NGC. This example of an exceedingly difficult issue possesses ample mint luster over pleasing reddish-gold surfaces with a normal quota of abrasions for a gold coin that has seen light circulation. Although the strike is a bit weak on the central reverse--the arrow feathers, eagle's claws, and neck--the overall eye appeal is high, and the peripheral details are well executed. Both major services together have graded only 12 pieces higher (3/10).(Registry values: P3)
