Description

Noteworthy MS63 ★ 1881/1880 Five Dollar
Sole Example with NGC Star Designation

1881/1880 $5 MS63 ★ NGC. CAC. FS-301, formerly FS-005. The fourth edition of The Cherrypickers' Guide, volume 2, notes that this variety is actually an 1881/1880. The 1 and second 8 are boldly repunched, the first 8 less so, and the curves of the 0 are apparent, rising upward from each side of the last 1. This is a sharply struck piece that has pleasing yellow-gold color imbued with blushes of apricot on the reverse. Distributed minute marks limit the grade. This is the only example of this variety assigned NGC's coveted Star (11/09).
