1809/8 $5

Description

1809/8 XF 40 Cleaned. All known examples of this date are overdates, and only one variety is known for the year. This is an earlier die state that shows a significant portion of the 8 underdigit. While the coin has been cleaned, this is not a particularly distracting feature. The surfaces show much more luster than one would normally expect for a coin in this grade, and there is a pronounced accent of rich orange patina on each side. Minimally abraded.
