Conditionally Rare 1838 Five Dollar, MS62

1838 $5 MS62 PCGS. Small Arrows, Large 5, Breen-6515, McCloskey 2-B, R.2. The RI in AMERICA touch, yet ATES is widely spaced. The advent of fully hubbed half eagle designs (sans date and mintmark) would put an end to such random legend spacing in 1839. This fully struck peach-gold example has good luster and a well preserved reverse. Minor marks near the chin and cheek determine the grade.(Registry values: P1)
