- This is a truly gorgeous and high grade example of this VERY RARE and desirable "Fat Head five." Struck from BD-2, a rare Rarity-5+ die pairing, with an estimated 20-25 examples surviving in all grades. As with most specimens of this type, this coin survived the export and melting of "old tenor" gold coins in the early 1830s when the gold content exceeded the face value. It is a miracle that this coin survives at all! Every detail shows razor sharp definition on both sides. Liberty's hair curls, the star centers, and eagle all show full, crisp renderings from an exacting blow from the dies. A strong luster flashes on the obverse and reverse, ranging in areas from satiny to semi-Prooflike reflection. A strong glass reveals a few of the tiniest ticks and giggles scattered about, wholly acceptable for the assigned grade, and the originality of the surfaces and color are clearly worthy of the CAC approval. PCGS 19, NGC 2, CAC 6. There are two in MS63+ at PCGS and just a dozen graded higher. When this coin sold in March 2017 as part of the Blue Moon Collection, it realized $56,400. Today, the Collectors Universe value is $60,000. A great example for type or date purposes and worthy of a fantastic collection! Bidding will be fierce! Cert. Number 82950397 PCGS # 8125
