<B>1849 $5 Norris, Gregg, & Norris Five Dollar R.E. AU58 PCGS.</B></I> K-3, R.6. One of four varieties of the year, this one identifiable by the reeded edge and lack of a period after ALLOY. Kagin's 1981 reference on the subject lists K-3 as an R.6 and the scarcest of the known varieties, although a survey of auction records indicates that it is probably an R.5 today. In terms of grade, however, any Norris, Gregg, & Norris five dollar is a challenge in near-Mint State or better condition. PCGS has certified a mere five reeded edge examples at the AU58 level with only four finer, the best an MS62 coin (1/08). This lightly circulated example is lustrous and displays a uniform pale yellow-gold coloration. Listed on page 351 of the 2008 <I>Guide Book.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
