1808 $5 MS (PCGS#8102)

The Regency Auction 26

详细说明: BD-3--the so-called "Normal 5 D", considered to be Rarity-4 in the Bass-Dannreuther reference, with perhaps 100-125 examples known in all grades. While the 1808 is not a rarity in the absolute sense, David Akers noted "Although not particularly rare as a date, in my experience the 1808 is very difficult to obtain in choice mint state. Certainly it is much more rare in uncirculated condition than the 1807, 1809/8, 1810." Large Date, Large 5 or 1812 Totally choice, with a full, satin luster this is a very pleasing, high grade example of this early five. The devices are fully struck up and razor sharp, each detail accented wonderfully by a rich medium gold tone. The surfaces show some tiny old lines that only appear at certain angles on both sides and are wholly acceptable for the assigned grade. None of these detract from the overall wonderfully handsome eye appeal. PCGS 19, NGC 18. PCGS has graded only 19 coins finer, the majority of them grading MS64. The most recent PCGS-graded example to sell in auction realized $30,550 in January 2017 (that example was CAC approved). Before that, the last PCGS coin was sold in March 2014 (four years ago) for $25,850. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $25,500. A great coin for any type set or specialized collection of early gold--either way this wonderful CHOICE Uncirculated coin has multiple levels of demand and will find itself at home in any collection!
