1897-S Five Dollar, MS64+
Branch Mint Condition Rarity

1897-S $5 MS64+ PCGS. CAC. The 1879-S half eagle is significantly scarcer than its Philadelphia counterpart. Mint State coins are elusive in any grade, and they are rare finer than MS62. This high-end Choice example is near the Condition Census for the issue, and it is one of the top five coins endorsed by CAC. Strike sharpness and luster are outstanding, complemented by delicate peach and rose-gold coloration. Only a few tiny, scattered contact marks are evident. Population: 5 in 64 (1 in 64+), 5 finer. CAC: 3 in 64, 2 finer (4/20).(Registry values: P3)
