Lot 367
1865-S. NGC graded MS-65. CAC. Frosty and mostly untoned. Two minor obverse spots. A very rare date in this grade, with no more than a few dozen known in all grades of mint state. As the Civil War drew to a close, demand for silver coins remained quite high, so nearly all of these entered circulation and stayed there. Its hard to imagine how this coin survived all these years at the Gem level. Highly appealing! Housed in an old holder. Pop 2; tied for the finest examples graded at both services. Estimate Value $30,000 - 33,000
