Description

PCGS 1897-S MS 63. A very difficult and underrated date in the Liberty five-dollar series. While lightly circulated examples are quite common, a true mint state specimen is very unusual. This piece has a sharp strike, full satiny luster, and some pretty coppery red toning on the reverse.

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25YN, PCGS# 8395, Greysheet# 9097)

Weight: 8.36 grams
