    You are correct. It is not labeled as a $5 piece. I'm not sure just why.

    Beautiful gold coin! I've never seen one of those before. Wish I had the $. Any way for PCGS to tell how/why they graded it as they did?

    They do not give an explanation... butr I was able to find out this little tidbit



    << <i>In the early years of the US Mint, steel to make dies was scarce and funds were scarcer. The Mint operated on a shoestring budget and if any dies were leftover at the end of the year, there was good reason to reuse them. There are many overdates from the 1790’s and early 1800’s and many were probably caused by economic reasons. >>
