<Our item number 127313><B>1809/8 &#36;5 Capped Draped Bust. BD-1, Breen-6458. NGC graded MS-64.</B> Well struck with lovely rich orange toning. One of the most pleasing specimens of this date to come to market in many months, a coin that will attract bidders lucky enough to see it. Full, frosty yellow gold to pale reddish surfaces show satiny luster on both sides. Thick with luster, in fact. The color as well as the surfaces are choice whether they are viewed under magnification or with the naked eye, a sign of a confirmed MS64 coin. The strike is sharp on the hair curls and clasp, as well as the stars and expressive of the grade. The reverse too is without weakness. Some light toning is an added bonus. This explains why the color and surfaces are so mouth-wateringly original. The 1809 overdate coin is neither plentiful nor a rarity in Choice Mint State compared to other early dates in the series. However, it neatly surpasses the best of those others in the MS64 grade from the two Top Tier grading services. A coin for the specialist or sincere connoisseur, one whose freshness is becoming more elusive by the month. <B>Pop 32; 9 finer in 65.</B> <B>&#40;PCGS # 8104&#41;</B>. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;40,000 - 45,000. <BR><BR>Our item number 127313<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/44jpegs/127313.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/44jpegs/127313N2.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/44jpegs/127313N3.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/44jpegs/127313N4.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
