Lot 916
1871-S $5 Liberty. Population reports only 8 in this grade with 12 in AU-58 and 1 in MS-61. NGC graded AU-55. A well struck example with some scattered contact marks in the unprotected obverse fields. A very lustrous example, even for this numerical grade, and attractive orangish color gold in appearance. Like many of the gold coins of this era from San Francisco, few were saved and high grade examples are as scarce as hen's teeth.
Estimated Value $5,700 - 6,000.
