Looks are deceiving. At first glance we thought his coin was Uncirculated. No, we don't need stronger glasses. The coin actually looks that good. It is HIGH END for sure. Amazing surfaces are almost full Mint State quality. Save for one small tick, the surfaces are super clean. The surfaces also have a thick satiny texture. A surprising luster beams vividly from all over. You can tell nothing has ever been done to this coin. Both sides are a wonderful and totally original deeper yellow gold color. The clear reason why this is not an AU 58+, there is some weakness in the strike on the eagle’s neck. All other details are super frosty and are fully struck. The eye appeal is beyond exceptional especially since this is C mint! PCGS 7, NGC 12, CAC 3. This is the ONLY PCGS AU55+ graded. It has never been sold via auction. The consignor told us it is fresh to the market. It should be known that the last AU55 sold in 2006! The rarity of this date and grade cannot be disputed. We think the Collector’s Universe estimate of $7,900 is way off as are all the AU values. If you collect C Mint $5 or just $5, this is a coin that will thrill you. It belongs in a great collection!
