1806 $5 Pointed 6, 8X5 Stars MS (PCGS#8090)

The Regency Auction 45

详细说明: A decent AU55 BD-1. This example, housed in an old green tag holder, has a warm orange and green hue over the golden surfaces. Tinges of original luster are aglow in the protected areas. With a strong glass we note some minor marks and some microscopic, wispy lines. The strike is a touch weak in the centers while being quite sharp at the peripheries. Only 9,676 half eagles were struck of the Pointed 6 varieties. (Note that the 1806 Rounded 6 half eagles had a mintage of 54,417). Though five die pairs were used to strike them BD-1 is R-4, BD-2 is R-5+, BD-3 is R-7, BD-4 is R-5+, and BD-5 is R-7. This easily identified die marriage is the most "common" and pairs 1806 obverse 1 (stars 1 and 2 are nearly touching at two points) with 1805 reverse B, with the right base of the Ts broken off. PCGS 10, NGC 8. This coin sold for $7,638 in our August 2020 Regency Auction. Prior to that, one sold for $6,600 in March 2019 and another in July 2018 for $8,400. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $13,000. Cert. Number 2653521 PCGS # 8090.00
