1885-S Five Dollar, MS66
Among the Finest With CAC

1885-S $5 MS66 NGC. CAC. Although the 1885-S is one of the more common dates of the Liberty Head With Motto five dollar series, it is rare in the higher-level Mint State grades. The impeccably preserved surfaces of this Premium Gem display radiant luster and soft orange-gold patina imbued with whispers of mint-green and lilac. A well-executed strike leaves sharp definition on the design elements, rounding out the captivating eye appeal. A milling mark beneath the eagle's beak may help identify the coin. This piece is scarce in this high grade, and it is a major rarity this fine with CAC approval. Census: 11 in 66 (1 in 66 ), 2 finer. CAC: 4 in 66, 0 finer (6/23).
