1802/1 $5 MS (PCGS#8083)

The Regency Auction 31

详细说明: BD-2, considered to be R-4+. All 1802 half eagles are overdates, with the 2 punched over the 1, and there are 8 different die marriages. BD-2 is considered a "Centered Overdate" and is easily identifiable by the 2 free of Liberty's bust and the incomplete ribbon on the reverse. Flashy and lustrous, this very Choice AU 1802 half eagle boasts a sharp strike and wealth of definition. Brilliant yellow-gold surfaces have a bold look with subtle deeper orange-gold color that appears as you rotate the coin in a light. There are a few traces of circulation on the highest points and in the fields. A strong glass reveals a trivial mark or line, all perfectly acceptable for the grade. The eye appeal is spectacular for the grade; this is NOT one of the typical examples that is dipped, stripped, or otherwise conserved. PCGS 48, NGC 43, CAC 18. The most recent example to sell in auction realized $13,200 and prior to that, one sold in the 2014 ANA auction for $12,925. The current PCGS value is listed at $12,000. Scarce in Mint State, this really choice AU coin is worthy of any gold type set or worthy of a date set of early $5s. Good luck! Cert. Number 21199536 PCGS # 8083
