Lot Number 5

There were 27 bids on this 1808 when it appeared last year in MB 56 (lot 42), more than any other coin in the auction.  Lance prevailed at $5,896.  Here is a truly stunning 1808.  The consignor acquired it decades ago, before grading services were born.  I sent it to CAC, expecting a gold sticker to be its reward.  No matter.  The glorious toning speaks for itself.  The surfaces and luster are a delight.  This is an original coin, essentially without faults.  Once again we anticipate runaway bidding.

Estimate: $4,000 and up
