<B>1868-S $5 AU55 NGC.</B></I> Gold coins struck between 1866 and 1872 are invariably rare in Mint State. They were struck after the two treasure-laden shipwrecks of 1865 (the <I>S.S. Brother Jonathan </B></I>and the <I>S.S. Republic</B></I>). They also preceded the large-scale export of freshly minted gold coins to European banks, which began with the 1873 Open 3 double eagle. Since nobody on the West Coast collected gold coins in 1868, the 1868-S is unknown above MS61, and even AU pieces are very scarce. The present piece has suitable luster, a good strike, and no obtrusive abrasions. Census: 15 in 55, 11 finer (2/08).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Christian Gobrecht<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
