1804 $5 PCGS MS61 (Small 8 over Large 8) ex: D.L. Hansen - Draped Bust $5

A very scarce BD-6, Rarity 5 example and one of the earliest die states we have seen, with two very thin die cracks running down through the A in STATES and the O in OF. A lovely example with flashy mint luster and a fascinating RPD that draws the eye and captivates the viewer. Deep orange-gold color throughout is pleasing with hints of lighter sunny gold coloration. Adjustment marks as seen on Liberty's cap are common for the issue and are as minted. A stunning piece and an important date from the adolescence of our nation. - Draped Bust $5
