1894-S $5 PCGS/CAC MS62 ex: Fairmont - Liberty Head $5 - Very Tough S-Mint

From a low mintage of 55,900 pieces, many were melted down, leaving few for collectors. In fact, PCGS has graded only five examples finer than the present offering, and NGC lists just four! A lovely example with attractive surfaces and stark originality. Well-struck with pretty sienna-gold coloration and a slightly dirty-gold appearance, confirming the originality. An exciting example of this sleeper date! We note a few reverse edge rail chips. - Liberty Head $5
