1804. 14 stars on reverse. BD-2, Rarity 4. PCGS graded AU-53. Well struck and lightly toned. There are a couple of minor adjustment marks on the reverse, but the color is a unform orange gold and traces of luster survive in the protected areas. The obvese and reverse designs are well excecuted and show just a bit of wear on the highest points of the design. This is one of the toughest type issues to find at all, mintages were tine and the numbers known today are paltry. Furthermore, this one has one of the most coveted dates in American numismatics, the magical year of 1804. Jefferson was President and beginning his second term in office, and the Lousiana Purchase had been completed. This classic rarity was there to bear witness to so much of our early history! Pop 9; 46 finer at PCGS. (PCGS # 7652) .
Estimated Value $14,000 - 16,000.

 
Realized $16,744
