<B>1863-S<$5> AU55 PCGS.</B></I> The few '63-S Fives we have offered have invariably been well circulated, as is the typical survivor of this long underappreciated issue. A total of 17,000 pieces were originally struck, but fewer coins are extant from this somewhat unimpressive figure (for the era and denomination), than on issues with mintage of one half or even one tenth that of the 1863-S. Any coin grading AU or higher can be considered an extreme rarity, so the importance of this piece is unquestionable. The highpoint definition is virtually complete, save for the radials on the first two stars. A number of scattered marks are present, but the yellow-golden surfaces still offer much of the original luster. <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
