The 1915-S is the ultimate example of a true condition rarity with just a handful of coins existing above MS63. MS62 examples are the most popular collector grade pieces with many desiring MS63’s. MS64 or finer is considered a nearly unattainable rarity. This date comes very nicely struck with solid luster and color as well. Superb examples of this coin can be found with some searching even in gem condition.
Obverse Description
The obverse bears the portrait of a Native American chieftain in formal headdress struck incuse with the words LIBERTY at the top and the date at the bottom. 13 stars frame the left and right sides: 6 at left and 7 on the right.
Reverse Description
The traditional American eagle struck incuse in the center with the words, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA at top, E PLURIBUS UNUM left of the eagle, and IN GOD WE TRUST to the right of the eagle. The denomination 5 DOLLARS struck below the eagle.
