Lot Number 54

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.
