Owner's Comments

CAC Green label. Super nice for an AU53, not baggy in any way shape or form. Good mint luster in protected areas. Grade is accurate but the green bean shows how not baggy the coin is.

The 1868-S ranks very high in the series with respect to both overall rarity and condition rarity. It is not as rare as the 1867-S but it is in the same rarity class as the 1866-S Motto and such earlier S-Mint issues as 1858-S, 1859-S, 1862-S, 1863-S and 1865-S Inverted Date.
