1809 $5 Capped Draped Bust. 9 over 8 NGC MS60
Satiny, lustrous surfaces display pale gold iridescence on the obverse and reverse with a little more brightness on the reverse. Normal light abrasions and hairlines are expected on a Mint State 60 minimally Uncirculated specimen like this, but the strike detail is much sharper than you'd expect, while the 9 over 8 overdate is clear to the eye. If you favor owning one of the classic half eagles, why not go with this overdate since it doesn't cost you any more than a normal date 1807, 1808, or 1810 but has the added allure of this interesting feature.
