1809/8 $5 MS (PCGS#8104)

The Regency Auction 51

详细说明: FROM THE DALE FRIEND COLLECTION, PART I. All the 1809 half eagles were struck from a single pair of dies, all of the BD-1, thus all known 1809 half eagles are also overdates. Of the 20,000 to 33,875 estimated to have come off the dies, only 250-325 are known today in all grades. This essentially GEM quality early $5 ranks among the 10 HIGHEST GRADED at PCGS. This is a remarkable, high grade and HIGH END example! Exceptional, totally original deep orange-gold coloration is accented by a wealth of underlying satiny luster. Razor sharp devices show off fully defined details. A few minor remnants of planchet adjustment marks are seen at the bust. There are no serious traces of contact, light marks, lines, or anything else that will distract the eye. WOW! We really love the look, and you will too, it is VERY HIGH END! Ex. Heritage, January 2012, lot 4859. PCGS 23, NGC 18, CAC 4. There are four graded MS64+ at PCGS and just a half dozen graded higher. This remarkable coin realized $57,500 a decade ago and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $70,000. Any MS65 would likely cost $100,000+ in this market, even more with CAC approval. This spectacular coin belongs in a fantastic type or date set of early gold and should bring a serious premium! Good luck! Cert. Number 25565874 PCGS # 8104
