$4250 		Rare 5-I Die Variety, Honey Green-Gold, Choice Surfaces, Oregon Beaver Collection. Consignor Price Reduction - 1844 brought only 17,332 $2.5 strikes at the Dahlonega Mint. A single obverse was paired with two reverse dies to generate that mintage. The second die pairing (5-I) is considerably rarer than the first (5-H). This Oregon Beaver release presents an opportunity to acquire the 5-I pairing with little rarity premium. A strictly original and choice example with honey green-gold coloration and pleasing frosted luster. Undisturbed mint frost is seen at the stars and legend. As usual, the obverse strike experiences center weakness. Housed in NGC Gen 17 (2004-2008) holder. December 1969
