MS63 1808 $2.5 Capped Bust to Left-Large Size NGC

A MEGA rarity. This is a one-year type coin and a "must-have" coin for anyone putting a U.S. gold type set together. Miniscule mintage of only 2,710 pieces. Combined pop of 6/with only 2 finer (1 MS64 and 1 MS65). Pedigreed from the Freedom Collection. This example that we are offering represents the usual die state with an obverse die crack through the rear peak of the cap, continuing over the cap to the left, and through all stars on the right. There is no evidence of die lapping or any other cracks on either side. It is believed that the obverse die actually cracked as it was being made, and that no perfect-die coins exist. As always, the border dentils are weak and almost nonexistent on the obverse. The surfaces are lightly abraded as always, with faint adjustment marks visible through ES OF on the reverse. The central obverse and reverse design detail is bold, and the overall eye appeal is excellent. Both sides are fully lustrous, with slightly reflective fields and rich orange-gold color. Hints of rose patina complete the picture.(HRCG)

Note Regarding Photography: This image is for reference purposes only. No scanned or photographed image of a rare coin will ever be a wholly accurate representation of the actual product. Each coin has unique qualities that change as the coin is moved in the light. A two dimensional image will never compare to holding a coin in person. With this in mind, if you are not completely satisfied with the "eye appeal" of your numismatic purchase we will gladly exchange it.
