Lot 1345
1863-S $5 Liberty. PCGS graded EF-45. A very rare date that shows a mintage of just 17,000 pieces, most of these were subsequently lost or melted. Breen notes that all these were struck with a leftover 1856 reverse with the very large S mintmark. Clean surfaces for the grade, and some mint luster survived near the devices. An impressive rarity that is seldom offered in such a choice grade.
