Lot 918
1874-S $5 Liberty. Population of 2 with none higher. NGC graded AU-58. A decent strike with attractive golden-orange mint luster. Some light to moderate handling marks appear in the unprotected fields, but none by themselves is too troublesome for this high grade. Although 16,000 were struck, a fair mintage for this time period, this issue is prohibitively rare above very fine and when Breen published his Complete Encyclopedia of U.S. Coins in 1988, this date was unknown in AU! This example is tied as finest graded by either service. Weak mint mark.
Estimated Value $10,000 - 11,000.
