1809/8 $5 BD-1 MS (PCGS#507603)

The Regency Auction 31

Lot Description: All known examples are from this single die pair; all 33,875 struck are overdates. This is the lowest mintage of the series and is ranked the scarcest date. The central devices are sharply struck and the surfaces are very pleasing for the assigned grade with a rich original skin and a lovely underlying luster. Atypical for the type, this coin is not bright yellow gold from conservation, nor is it all "hacked up" with bad contact marks. The eye appeal is wonderful! PCGS 31, NGC 30, CAC 8. The last NGC/CAC coin sold in the 2013 FUN auction for $10,281. This coin is more even and offers nicer surfaces than the PCGS/CAC coin that sold for $9,000 in the 2019 FUN auction. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $9,750. A great early gold type coin for any collector! Cert. Number 4663614003 PCGS # 8104
