Rare 1872 MS61 Five Dollar

1872 $5 MS61 PCGS. A mere 1,660 business strike half eagles were minted in 1872, one of the lowest mintages of any Liberty Head five dollar. As might be expected, this date is rare in any grade. The partially prooflike fields of this orange-gold MS61 specimen highlight the sharply struck motifs. Distributed light contact marks limit the grade. Population: 1 in 61, 4 finer (3/09).(Registry values: P3)

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
