详细说明

The 1858-S is a famous rarity among early S-mint $5 gold pieces, and according to David Akers' research was considered a "major rarity in any condition." Further he stated, "I personally have never seen one better than EF..." Fewer than 100 survive in all grades, including a few AU pieces that have been certified, it is UNIQUE in Mint State, with just a single MS61 graded finer than the stunning AU58+ offered here. Nearly full mint luster glistens all over this beautiful example. Well struck, the devices show off full details. Just a hint of the lightest friction is seen that keeps this visually impressive GEM AU from a full Mint State grade. PCGS 8, NGC 13, CAC 2. This the only PCGS AU58+ and there is just a single MS61 on the Population Report finer. This coin realized $21,600 in December 2020 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is $25,000. As one of the FINEST KNOWN, this beauty belongs in a world class collection of $5 gold. Bidding will be intense! Cert. Number 40828545 PCGS # 8279
