1812 $5 Gold Capped Draped Bust. PCGS graded AU-53. Another offering of a fresh Capped Bust Left half eagle! Lustrous and shimmering with a mix of satiny and frosty luster. Keeping in-line with the quality of the previous pieces, the surfaces are free from any obtrusive marks of any kind. Light amounts of wear are present on the high points of the obverse. On the reverse, strike weakness occurred first, followed by light wear most noticeable on the tops of the wings. A pleasing and choice example, seemingly finer than the assigned grade of AU-53 (PCGS # 8112) .
Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,400.
