Description

1886-S Liberty Five, MS65+
Only One Finer Coin at NGC

1886-S $5 MS65+ NGC. The enormous mintage exceeding 3.2 million coins is responsible for the survival of high-grade Gem examples such as this compelling coin. Higher-grade specimens are virtually unobtainable. Orange-gold centers cede to mint-green near the rims on each side, and a finer grade is precluded only by a couple of scattered reeding marks. The strike is sharp throughout. Census: 53 in 65 (3 in 65+, 1 in 65 ), 1 finer (12/14).(Registry values: P2)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25XV, PCGS# 8370, Greysheet# 9082)

Weight: 8.36 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
