1879-S Five Dollar, MS64
Rarely Offered This Fine

1879-S $5 MS64 PCGS Secure. This is a well-struck near-Gem with a hint of reflectivity in the fields. The interiors are warm peach-gold in color, framed by lighter wheat-gold borders. Only light, scattered marks limit the grade and the eye appeal is pleasing. The 1879-S half eagle is available for a price through MS63, but Choice coins are rare. Only one finer piece is reported by PCGS and NGC combined. Population: 12 in 64, 1 finer (7/18).(Registry values: P3)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25X9, PCGS# 8350, Greysheet# 9069)

Weight: 8.36 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
