Extremely Rare Uncirculated 1795 B. 1-C Small Eagle Five Dollar

1795 $5 Small Eagle MS62 NGC. B. 1-C, Miller-3, R.7. Three spurs from border between S and O on the reverse. An elusive die pairing that has rarity ratings which vary from mid R.6 to R.7, depending on source. Perhaps no more than 20 pieces survive in all grades. Our firm has sold several dozen 1795 Small Eagle Fives over the past decade and not a single example was of this marriage. The splendid example now offered displays bright yellow-gold surfaces with a fair degree of prooflikeness in the areas surrounding the devices. The strike is well executed save for weakness down the center of the eagle. A bit of scuffiness in the exposed areas limits the flow of reflective luster and, thus, the grade. Any 1795 Small Eagle in Mint State is a prize for the advanced gold collector, but the addition of the elusive die variety should make this a hotly contested item when it crosses the auction block. Population: 16 in 62, 15 finer (4/03).
