Description

1878 Five Dollar, Sharp MS64+
Attractive Honey-Gold, Frosty Surfaces

1878 $5 MS64+ NGC. Scarcely seen in MS64 or finer, this high-end near-Gem approaches top echelon of survivors. Vibrantly lustrous and frosty, two or three tiny abrasions on the neck truncation are the sole marks to mention on the obverse, while the reverse is virtually unscathed save for a pair of luster grazes above the wings. The strike is razor-sharp throughout, and the first 8 of the date shows broad recutting within the lower loop. The eye appeal of this honey-gold, borderline Gem is tremendous. Census: 15 in 64 (2 in 64+), 5 finer (8/16).
