Exceptionally Lustrous MS66 1881 Five Dollar

1881 $5 MS66 NGC. While considered one of the most available dates in the entire five dollar series, the herd definitely thins out at the MS66 level. Only 11 other pieces have been so graded by NGC with one finer, and PCGS has not certified any at this level (8/07). This is an amazingly lustrous coin. The surfaces are nearly devoid of abrasions of any size. Fully struck also, but to underscore the coin's strongest feature: the mint frost on this coin must be seen to be believed and fully appreciated.(Registry values: P2)
