1857-S $5 XF40 认证号30995112, PCGS号8275

David Akers (1975/88)

Like the 1856-S, the 1857-S comes with two different size mintmakrs, large as on the 1854-1855 coins and somewhat smaller and less open. From every standpoint of number of appearances at auction, the 1857-S is of approximately the same rarity as the 1855-S and 1856-S although it has appeared a few times more in uncirculated condition than either of the previous two. I have seen several uncirculated pieces and perhaps twice as many AU's, but the grade most likely to be seen is only VF or EF.
