1807 5 Dollars, Bust Left. NCS XF Details, Repaired. Breen-6453, BD-7. R.5+. Two reverse die marriages were used on this type, BD-8 being quite common and seen on nearly all surviving examples, and the present example, which is an important rarity and of true significance for the gold specialist. Identifiers of BD-7 include the feather on the end of the arrow pointing to the middle of the 5 and the NU in UNUM being underneath the O in OF. Die clashing is seen on the obverse and significant die cracks on the reverse, suggesting the terminal die states for both dies. The Bass-Dannreuther reference suggests a survival of 30-40 examples, but after research, this cataloger believes that number to be high. The left obverse field has been smoothed to hide grafiti and the surfaces were then cleaned to provide for a slightly bright, but more uniform look. The details sugges that of an About Uncirculated coin.
