Key Features:
  • Date: 1915
  • Mint Mark: S (San Francisco Mint)
  • Denomination: $5
  • Grade: AU-55 (About Uncirculated) by NGC, indicating the coin has seen minimal circulation with only slight wear on the highest points.


Coin Highlights:

  • Reverse: The majestic standing eagle, designed with intricate detail, symbolizes power and freedom. The coin's denomination, mint mark, and date are clearly indicated.

Why This Coin is a Treasure:
