Republic 5 Shillings 1892 AU Details (Surface Hairlines) NGC, KM8.2, double shaft. From a mintage of just 4,327, this is an example of the much rarer "double shaft" variety. This is in reference to the number of shafts visible on the wagon tongue in the lower portion of the central reverse motif. While there are light hairlines, as referenced in the grade, they are not too noticeable because of the gray toning. Krause catalog price(s) for this item: $200 in VF, $650 in EF, $2000 in UNC.
Estimate: 600-800 USD
