1900 Five Dollar, MS67
Tied for Finest at PCGS
Rare Registry-Grade Example

1900 $5 MS67 PCGS. Easily one of the finest 1900 half eagles known, and definitively tied with just two others for finest at PCGS (11/20). This is the first example in this grade that we have handled since 2011, and it is the first PCGS coin in this grade that we have seen since 2006. While the 1900 five dollar is relatively common in grades through MS65 and is only borderline rare in MS66, the date is a major rarity in MS67. Including possible duplication, PCGS and NGC combined report on 10 pieces in MS67 and finer condition.

This piece glistens with frosty mint luster that yields rich rose-gold color on the obverse and reveals brighter yellow-gold hues on the reverse. The strike is sharp, and the nearly flawless preservation produces immeasurable visual merit. Population: 3 in 67, 0 finer (11/20).
