Description

1880-S Five Dollar, MS65+
The Finest at PCGS

1880-S $5 MS65+ PCGS. Surprisingly, the average certified grade for the 1880-S is only 60.7 -- lower than we would have thought given the issue's mintage of 1.3 million coins. It also comes as something of a shock to find that none grade above the Gem level. In fact, despite the issue's reputation as being collectible, it is actually conditionally challenging. This is the single finest coin at PCGS by the margin of the Plus designation.

Yellow-gold color dominates each side with complementary accents of copper-rose and mint-green adding considerable eye appeal. Frosty luster rolls uninhibited over well-preserved surfaces that are clearly on the cusp of an even higher grade. Population: 6 in 65 (1 in 65+), 0 finer (11/23).(Registry values: P3)
