Billy the Kid was both a notorious Wild West outlaw and beloved folk hero. His legendary criminal exploits earned him sacks brimming with $5 Gold pieces just like this one. Struck by San Francisco’s ‘Gold Rush Mint’ during the very year of his death, this 1881-S $5 Gold piece forever stands as a relic of the Wild West, the Gold Rush, and the daring ways of one of history’s most famous outlaws. Our small cache of these treasures is in Extremely Fine condition, and each coin bears the “S” Mintmark of San Francisco.
Since 1981, Collectible America has procured rare coins, secured bullion, and struck medallions for the American numismatic public as an independent private mint, not affiliated with the United States Government. This independence provides the cornerstone for our commitment to excellence in both product and service, and, most important, it guarantees to our customers essential rights and complete satisfaction.
