<B>1809/8 $5 MS63 NGC. CAC.</B></I> Breen-6458, BD-1, High R.3. The only variety known for the date. This traditionally described overdate may be a repunched date, rather than a true overdate. For certain, "something" can be seen beneath the 9. Rather than a previous 8, it might be a simple repunched date. The other alternative may be simple die rust, since considerable rust can be seen elsewhere on the obverse. <BR> This sharply defined example has brilliant yellow-gold luster with full mint frost. A few scattered marks are visible, but none are significant. It exhibits exceptional eye appeal for the grade. Census: 23 in 63, 41 finer (1/08).<BR><I>From The Southwest Collection.</B></I><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>)
