Lot 1904
1800 $5 Capped Bust. PCGS graded AU-58 Breen-1B. Lovely rich golden toning. Well struck and reflective surfaces. A remarkable beauty of an early half eagle! The lustrous surfaces are afire with bright copper-orange patina over the mellow gold smoothness that is the natural feature of the open field of this piece. Centers and main devices are all sharply struck by the dies. The rims are outstanding as well. All in all a highly attractive coin for the early gold connoisseur. 37,628 coins minted. Pop 35; 75 finer. (PCGS # 8082) .
Estimated Value $8,500 - 9,500.
