1798 $5 BD-4, Large 8 MS (PCGS#507324)

The Regency Auction XXII Las Vegas July 2017

详细说明: $5 1798 LARGE 8, 13 STAR REVERSE. PCGS MS62 CAC A satiny and richly toned early $5. Pleasing orange-gold surfaces with amber accents show a wealth of original mint bloom that shows hints of reflectivity that boldly bring out the nicely struck design devices. With the aid of a high power glass a few light lines come into focus, but none distract the eye. BD-4, considered to be R-4+ with approximately 80-100 examples known in all grades and the presently offered example is tied with perhaps as many as nine examples for second finest graded. The reverse die shows a number of cuds at the upper rim, typical for this later die state. PCGS 10, NGC 7, CAC 5. Only a single CAC approved example has sold in auction, a BD-5 (which is slightly scarcer) which brought $51,750 in August 2011. A non-CAC coin sold in the 2016 ANA auction for $30,550 and that coin did not have the bold eye appeal of the presently offered coin. The PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $45,000. This coin should see very spirited bidding when it crosses the block. It would definitely offer a true pride of ownership for its next collector owner. Cert. Number 81726032 PCGS # 8078
