1795 $5 BD-3, Small Eagle MS64 PCGS #519852

CAC - "Bass-Dannreuther Die State c/b, the later die state, showing a linear engraver's mark connecting the E in UNITED to the dentils. The fields are uniformly semiprooflike, and the devices show even definition that lacks sharpness only on the eagle's right (facing) leg. The fields clearly have a bold, lustrous flash as you rotate the coin in a light source. The richness of the color comes out as the surfaces gleam. Old-time peach, olive, and orange-gold hues warm the surfaces, while a lack of abrasions earns the coveted CAC endorsement." Ex. Col. E.H.R. Green, Eric P. Newman, Bruce Morelan Collection.

1831 $5 BD-2, Large D MS65+ PCGS #519949

CAC - The sole finest graded 1831 with the Large 5D on the reverse. "Boldly reflective, nearly fully Prooflike mint brilliance..... vivid golden surfaces with swirling cartwheels that sweep across the generally smooth, clean surfaces when rotated in a light; head on, the reflective flash overpowers the more satiny brilliance. The strike was exacting, with the details crisply impressed from the dies. The fields are virtually flawless." Ex - Pogue

1837 $5 MS66+ PCGS #8175
