1808 $5 Wide 5D, BD-4, High R.3 -- Surfaces Tooled -- PCGS Genuine. Bass-Dannreuther Die State c/a. The PCGS number ending in .98 suggests tooled surfaces as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of an XF specimen that has been smoothed. The antique-gold surfaces have a slightly sweated appearance.
