Description

Sharp 1897 Five Dollar, MS 65 NGC

1897 $5 MS 65 NGC. Below the MS 64 grade level, the 1897 is well represented in the NGC and PCGS population reports. Near-Gems are, however, scarce, and accurately graded Gems are few and far between. With coruscant mint frost and a relative lack of abrasions, the surfaces are typically attractive for the grade. Both sides are draped in crimson-gold color that only enhances the already impressive eye appeal.
