1800 Five Dollar, BD-4 Variety

1800 $5 Genuine PCGS. Breen-6439, BD-4, R.4. The PCGS number ending in .98 suggests Damage 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 AU50 coin and it has been cleaned. This variety is most easily distinguished by the closeness of the last star to the bust of Liberty and the repunched M in AMERICA. The damage referred to by the PCGS number appears to be in the form of a couple of more prominent digs and scratches on the obverse: a dig by star 5, a scratch above the 1 in the date, and a scratch along the jawline of Liberty. Still, the green-gold surfaces retain significant mint luster around the outer devices. The strike is a bit soft in the centers.(Registry values: P2, N2)
