Lot 2132
1871-S $5 Liberty. NGC graded AU-53. Typical of the era, mintages were low, only 25,000 for this year. Most were spent, lost or melted and recoined in later years. This particular coin retains some of its luster, has nice surfaces and is a condition rarity. NGC has graded 7 as such, with 16 graded in higher AU grades, and just 2 mint state coins (both MS-61). We note a couple of minor ticks in the field before Liberty's nose, but are confident that a date collector would enjoy owning this coin.
Estimated Value $2,000 - 3,000.
