Description
1881 Five Dollar, MS66
Few Are Certified Finer
1881 $5 MS66 NGC. No Liberty Head half eagle has a higher
mintage than the 5.7+ million-piece production dated 1881. In a
three-year span from 1880 to 1882 the Philadelphia Mint struck more
than 11.3 million half eagles, topping the combined half eagle
production from all mints over the previous 40 years by some 2
million pieces. This is a frosty 1881 example with a razor-sharp
strike and blinding mint luster. Bits of Mint grime confirm the
original Premium Gem peach-gold and rose surfaces. Census: 15 in 66
(1 in 66+, 2 in 66★ ), 1 finer (6/23).(Registry values: P2)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25XD, PCGS# 8354, Greysheet# 8928)
