Description

1876-S Five Dollar Liberty, XF45
CAC Approved
A Remarkably Rare Issue

1876-S $5 XF45 PCGS. CAC. The 1876-S is a rare and underrated date from a mintage of only 4,000 coins. PCGS curiously omits a survival estimate for the issue despite this rarity, but provides one for the Philadelphia coin of this date. In our experience, the 1876-S is nearly as rare as its Philadelphia counterpart, with a survivorship likely below 65 pieces in all grades. The combined PCGS and NGC certified population counts just 71 coins including likely duplications, and during the past three decades examples of this issue have appeared in our auctions on only a few dozen occasions.

This is the only XF45 example with CAC endorsement. Original orange-gold patina deepens to amber in the margins, and light wear lacks any major abrasions. Eye appeal is outstanding for collectors who appreciate old-time patina. Population: 4 in 45, 11 finer. CAC: 1 in 45, 3 finer (11/23).(Registry values: P3)
