1868-S LIBERTY $5 MS61

RICH ORANGE PATINA BLANKET THIS SATIN LUSTROUS COIN. THIS IS THE SOLE MINT STATE COIN GRADED BY NGC. A decidedly scarce issue in the finer circulated grades, the 1868-S (52,000 pieces struck) is an issue that undoubtedly saw extensive use during the frontier era. Mint State examples are legendary rarities, and they number just three coins at PCGS and NGC as of late May, 2007.
