1838 $5 Classic Head. NGC graded MS-64. One of the finest graded of this date by NGC, we note a scant 10 have been awarded this grade with none graded higher! PCGS has graded a few higher, but this is certainly one of the better examples to survive. An important type coin and worth a strong bid. Identifiable by a small planchet void between the wing the eagle's lower beak. Sharply struck, and with minimal handling marks, which is quite unusual for a coin that was made 164 years ago.
Estimated Value $8,000 - 9,000.
