<B>1808 $5 MS63 NGC.</B></I> Close 5D, Breen-6456, BD-3, R.4. Called "Normal 5D" in Bass-Dannreuther, as opposed to "Wide 5D." The date is centered between the dentils and the bust, and the reverse has 5D normally spaced, with the A of STATES centered over LU in PLURIBUS. The final 08 is a bit closer than 180, and the upright of 1 is over a space between denticles. There is a tiny centering dot on the cheek of Liberty.<BR><I> </B></I>This example shows lovely, distraction-free green-gold surfaces with good luster and a bold strike. A few wispy contact marks account for the grade, but there are no singular abrasions, and there is much eye appeal commending this delightful coin. NGC Census for the date: 31 in 63, 12 finer (3/08).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> John Reich<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
