<B>1807 $5 Bust Right MS62 NGC.</B></I> Large Date, Breen-6452, BD-6, High R.4. This attractive and unblemished piece is smooth save for a couple of light mint-made roller marks on the portrait. Luster is comprehensive across the reverse, and dominates the obverse devices. There are two important die states for BD-6. Early dies examples, such as the present piece, have a bold cloud 3. Eventually, the reverse die is lapped, greatly weakening cloud 3. Gold specialist Harry W. Bass, Jr. was probably the first numismatist to recognize these two die states. A survey of recent appearances of BD-6 in Heritage auctions suggests that these two states are roughly equal in rarity.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
