Nice photo too!
I don't have any B-4's around this grade to compare this to, but I know this variety come slightly more weakly struck than the other 4 - 1805 varieties

Keep in mind that this variety is notorious for weak strikes!

Nice super original ...a nice VF
IMO, no matter what the slab says, she's likely to fetch PCGS 25 -30 money, or more. That is, if she's for sale.
Wonderful specimen.
using an 1806/5 graded by PCGS as VF-35 on the right.
It should be noted that this 1806 has a bit more definition than is apparent
due to an excess of scuffs on the slab and the photographer (me) was no match
for Goodman.
My guess is the 1805 should be around 20 - 25.

enough else going for it that the assigned grade is not out of line. In any case, I love this
coin and don't plan to sell it until and unless I find a nicer one that I can afford. Purchased from
Jerry at Type Coin Co, one of my A-list dealers!
p.S. That 1806/5 is luscious! Thanks for posting it.
Cool post by LoveMyLiberty showing the results of the same die pair before and after a 6 was punched over the 5 in the date

This was my feeling too!
Also, I think LoveMyLiberty's side by side is very informative
Not to derail the thread, but here's my B-4 (which I just picked up two weeks ago) ...
