Description

1869-S Five Dollar, AU58
Rare and Underappreciated

1869-S $5 AU58 PCGS Secure. Like many San Francisco issues in this series, the 1869-S half eagle is underrated and rare in high grade. Attractive AU coins are seldom seen, and only five Mint State pieces are reported by PCGS and NGC combined (2/18). This coin shows slight high-point friction but retains luster in the fields with original wheat-gold color. Minor strike weakness is visible on the hair curls around Liberty's face and on the reverse fletchings. A curved mark in the left obverse field near star 3 and 4 is the only mentionable abrasion. Population: 3 in 58, 2 finer (2/18).(Registry values: P3)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25W8, PCGS# 8318, Greysheet# 9048)

Weight: 8.36 grams
