The 1858-S $5 is one of my favorite No Motto issues as it is genuinely rare (50-60 extant) and woefully underappreciated for its scarcity which is on par with all but the 64-S in the run of tough S mint 5's before and after the Civil War.
At one point I owned what was likely the finest 58-S $5 extant but decided to sell that off and free up $20k plus to put back in the bank. I'm just as happy with this EF DOG which is telling in an of itself.

I like the look of the coin and quite frankly not many out there better to choose from

dirty gold and a green bean. way cool
@Boosibri - Saw that coin on DWN yesterday and thought of your other previous example. There are so few nice 1858-S $5s and up until recently no CACed examples between your old coin and my old VG-8 example. Very nice pick up!
Super nice rare piece. Good taste.
great pick up!

Saw that on DWN and liked it as well. Glad you got it.
I especially like the dirt in the shield.

Nice one, Brian. Surprised to hear you got rid of your AU58.

I was just abort to ask if you regret selling it, but the answer is now obvious!
Well I can say that I didn’t get 6x the satisfaction for owning the higher graded coin.

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
Nice coin, rarely seen in any grade.

Awesome DOG!
Nice coin. I remember targeting no motto S mint half eagles around 2005-6 and after two years and only seeing one or two junky ones I moved on.
