<B>1812 $5 MS62 PCGS.</B></I> Wide 5D, Breen-6466, BD-1, R.3. This early die state shows no evidence of die clashing on either side. The Breen-Dannreuther reference makes note of two curious, Mint-made die lines on the reverse of this variety: "They may be graver's marks or some other "injury" to the die. One begins at the rim about two o'clock, passes to the left of A(MERICA), and ends in the wing. The other is curved through the horizontal shield lines and ends in the left (observer's) wing." The one in the center is easily observable on this piece, but the one at 2 o'clock is seen only as a horn-like projection from the right wing. <BR> Final year of the Capped Bust Left type and only occasionally available in Uncirculated condition. This is a bright, lustrous coin that is sharply struck on the obverse, and shows only slight softness on the central feathers on the reverse. Lightly abraded.<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>)
