BD-8 die marriage, and BassDannreuther Die State c/a. Straw-gold coloration throughout, with semi-prooflikeness in the protected areas. A please Uncirculated survivor. In all grades combined, NGC has certified a mere 242 examples of this date. Compare that to--let's say--the key date 1909-S VDB cent, where well over 7,000 coins have been graded by NGC. Early U.S. gold remains one of the most underrated areas in numismatics. The values listed in price guides are disproportionate relative to the number of extant examples, and are mainly driven by supply and demand: the supply is low, but so is the demand. It is only a matter of time before collectors realize how relatively rare early U.S. gold coins truly are.
