1881/O $5

Description

PCGS 1881/O MS 63. This piece is currently tied as finest certified with one other coin, and that one graded by NGC. Under a magnifier, the repunching is clear at the bottom of the second 8 in the date, and the curve of the 0 at the lower right is obvious with just a shadow of the lower left apparent. Rich orange-gold color and well struck in most areas. An important, high grade example of this rare overdate.
