Eye-Appealing MS66 1897 Five Dollar

1897 $5 MS66 NGC. Despite a mintage of more than 800,000 pieces, the 1897 is difficult to acquire in the higher grades of Mint State. This delightful Premium Gem is tied for the finest certified, with NGC reporting just eight coins in MS66 and none finer. PCGS has certified none above MS65, at which level they have graded 13 examples (3/10). Pleasing apricot-gold and mint-green patina endows the surfaces, which exhibit only minuscule handling marks. Crisply defined motifs and eye-catching satiny luster enhance the wonderful eye appeal.(Registry values: P2)
