1909-S Five Dollar, MS61 Better West Coast IssueThe 1909-S is a conditionally challenging issue, found much more often in XF or AU than in Mint State. The hard-money tradition in California continued until World War I. This apple-green and caramel-gold example has a sharp strike and surprisingly unmarked surfaces. Luster rolls across the fields and devices. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.
