1877'S' $5.00. Extremely Fine, a scattered scuff or two from Choice. Strongly impressed devices glow with surrounding lustre. This satisfying coin is one of 26,700 struck at San Francisco, of which a mere fraction survive for today's numismatists. Dannreuther-Garrett show only 15 appearances at auction over 10 years, itself a graphic commentary on this Branch Mint's actual rarity.
