Often overshadowed by the Charlotte and Dahlonega issues from this period, the 1857-S is a challenging S-Mint issue with a mintage of just 10,000 pieces. Undeniably rare in Uncirculated condition, PCGS has graded just five examples finer than this significant MS61 offering. Impressively struck with bright, softly frosted luster shinning from straw-gold surfaces. Well-scattered field abrasions limit the grade but do not impede to overall strong visual appeal! - Gold Dollar
