1808/7 $5 MS61 NGC. Close Date, Breen-6455, BD-2, High
<B>1808/7 $5 MS61 NGC.</B></I> Close Date, Breen-6455, BD-2, High R.4. The upper crossbar of the 7 is obvious within the upper loop of the final 8 in the date. Those enterprising numismatists who collect by die variety also look for the tiny incuse circle on the obverse center, as made and an artifact of the die's production. There are two die marriages for the 1808/7, but since BD-1 is rare, those who collect by <I>Guide Book</B></I> variety usually obtain an example of BD-2. This sun-gold piece is well defined aside from minor strike bluntness on the lower left quadrant of the eagle's neck. A thin mark reaches the middle arrow head, but the overall appearance is blemish-free. A challenging issue, particularly when compared with its 1807 predecessor. Census: 12 in 61, 12 finer (10/06).<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
