Lot 3851
1871-S $5 Liberty. NGC graded AU-55. With flattering mint luster and a minimum number of wispy abrasions, this peach-gold coin is every bit the AU55. The strike is convincing in most places, though some weakness is noted at central part of the hair at the brow and on the eagle's neck, claw, and top of the arrow feather. Lustrous and quite rare. Only 25,000 minted. Pop 19; 10 in AU58; 1 in MS61.
Estimated Value $5,000 - 5,500.
Frank McCarthy Collection.
