Delightful Near-Mint BD-2 1800 Five Dollar

1800 $5 AU58 PCGS. Breen-6438, BD-2, High R.3. The upright of the E in STATES is left of the cloud junction, and this feature attributes the variety. The die state matches Dannreuther-Bass c/c, except the 10 o'clock reverse crack mentioned in reverse die state d is also present.
A surprisingly unabraded Borderline Uncirculated Heraldic Eagle five that boasts substantial luster. The drapery, cap, and forehead shows friction, as does the eagle's breast, but of this evenly struck coin retains its initial design definition. Thomas Jefferson was elected President in 1800, and the present piece is a tangible reminder of his era.(Registry values: P2)
