1813 $5 MS (PCGS#8116)

The Regency Auction 34

详细说明: A shimmering, satiny BD-1. A very handsome and high grade survivor of this popular "fat head" five date. Brilliant golden surfaces have hints of olive hues that appear when rotated in a light. The devices are sharply rendered with crisply defined details throughout. A few minor ticks break the frosty luster, but they have very little, if any, impact on the exceptional eye appeal. With a mintage of 95,428, the 1813 is the most common year of this series. Most examples were exported and melted down as the specie value exceeded the face value, creating a profitable enterprise. As such, many dates are virtually unobtainable in any grade; the only dates suitable for type collectors are 1813, 1814/3, and 1818. All other dates range from rare to essentially UNIQUE, making this a very challenging series. PCGS 52, NGC 20. We suspect that the PCGS Population figures include duplicate submissions of the same coin thus inflating the data. The most recent PCGS graded example sold in December 2018 for $43,200 and the current Collectors Universe value is listed at $57,500. Extremely RARE any finer; PCGS has graded just eight higher, 6 in MS64+, 1 in MS66 and one in MS66+. Worthy of a strong bid from any collector. Cert. Number 7471582 PCGS # 008116
