1894 Five Dollar, MS66+
Condition Census Example
Sole Finest With CAC

1894 $5 MS66+ PCGS. CAC. The 1894 Liberty half eagle is a typical common date from the Philadelphia Mint, boasting a mintage of more than 957,000 pieces and a fairly substantial survival rate throughout the MS61 to MS64 grade range. However, Gem examples are distinctly rare, and only a few finer pieces are known. PCGS reports five grading events in MS65 (two of which are Plus-graded coins), with three submissions finer. The present coin is one of those finer submissions. Frosty yellow-gold luster adorns unabraded surfaces and sharply struck devices. Eye appeal is outstanding, and this is the sole finest example of the date with CAC endorsement. Population: 2 in 66 (2 in 66+), 1 finer. CAC: 1 in 66, 0 finer (3/22).(Registry values: P3)
