A handsome coin. Fully struck on the obverse, nearly so on the reverse. This die pair is the key to completing a die variety set of 1808s. Old timers still award it an R.5 or R.4+ rarity rating, citing auction records to support the claim. It’s been a decade or more since I’ve handled a choice AU example. The smooth surfaces sport a medium grey patina, marred only by a short streak through TE on the reverse. Estimate: $2,000 and up.
