Lot 1990
$5 Capped Bust. 1796, 6 over 5. Small eagle, B-9I, M-16, R-4. NGC graded MS-62. Always in strong demand as a date and type coin, and very difficult to locate in full mint state grades. The surfaces show the expected light handling marks, but they are not too distracting. Fairly well struck, but we note the upper device points are not quite full although the stars are all sharp. Bright and untoned, with luster in the protected areas. NGC has graded 4 this high, with 5 graded higher (best MS-65), and PCGS has graded 2 as MS-62 with just one higher as MS-63. A delightful coin for the specialist.
Estimated Value $50,000 - 65,000.
