$5 1797 SE PCGS AU55 16 STARS

$185,000.00

WOW! What a stunning example of a classic Early $5 rarity!

An imperfect planchet that has some light roughness and pitting prove the only real negatives (and they are really not bad). There are two old imprints or minor cuts in the face-but we think they are from the planchet (they seem min caused). Overall, the surfaces are boldly prooflike and do appear clean. The color is a deeper yellow gold. This is an unmolested coin. Miss Liberty and the details are really surprisingly pinpoint sharp in strike. You can even see some breast feathers. The eye appeal is spectacular!

PCGS 3, NGC 1, CAC 1. This is the ONLY CAC’d 1797 $5!!! PCGS has graded 3 coins higher. We’re not sure, but this may have been the NGC AU58. The last time a PCGS one of these sold-get this , was in 1999! The coin brought $115,000.00 (B+M) then!

Legend Numismatics is proud to present this extreme rarity for purchase. It is indeed a once in a life time acquisition for anyone who buys early $5 pieces.
