Lot Description

The BD-6 is the only die marriage that has the round top 6 in the date. This is a very pleasing AU example with ample mint luster that survives in the fields. The devices are well struck and the surfaces are better than decent for the assigned grade, defined by bright yellow-gold color and only some minor circulation marks and adjustment marks can be seen anywhere with the aid of a powerful glass. The eye appeal is nice. PCGS 35, NGC 8. Do not let the population fool you, there has not been a PCGS AU53 sold since June 2016, where one sold for $8,813. Prior to that, one sold in May 2011 for $9,200. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $9,500. This is a good example for a Red Book variety set of early fives. Good luck. Cert.
