1861-S $5 MS (PCGS#8291)

The Regency Auction 39

详细说明: FROM THE BIGMO CIVIL WAR COLLECTION This is a pleasing example of a VERY RARE date. A few tiny scattered ticks are visible from its time in commerce, all wear is light, and there are no serious problems. You can clearly see traces of prooflike mirrors around the devices, and of course this coin has a strong glowing luster. Both sides have a brilliant yellow gold with a faint hint of orange. Miss Liberty and the details are well struck. We believe this coin was LIGHTLY cleaned long ago. It is more than acceptable quality, the appeal is actually fantastic! From a mintage of only 18,000, the vast majority went right into circulation, and they remained there for a long time. To date, PCGS has never graded a Mint State example! PCGS CoinFacts estimates that 60 examples are known. A number of known examples show serious issues that would preclude grading, such as harsh cleaning, polishing, scratches, etc. Pleasing AU coins are distinctly in the Condition Census, and in David Akers auction survey, no example above XF was recorded! A generation or two ago, Akers said this date was grossly underrated, and we agree with him in 2020! PCGS 6, NGC 7, CAC 1. PCGS has possibly graded only 2 coins higher. The current Collectors Universe Value is $12,000. This coin represents the opportunity of the ages to acquire a strong example of a powerfully rare date! Be prepared! Cert. Number 25271462 PCGS # 8291
