Lot 1552
1798 $5 Capped Bust. Large eagle, large 8, 13 stars. NGC graded MS-62. A hint of light gold toning. Breen 2-D with die crumbling at the top edge of the reverse around ATES O in the legend. Almost unrivaled in this grade in terms of exterior preservation, both sides of this golden beauty are well frosted and for all intents and purposes mark-free with only a few widely dispersed tics noted in hidden places. The only weak spot in the strike is seen at the exact center of the obverse and reverse; elsewhere, the design is crisply defined. Pop 2; 3 finer in 63 (PCGS # 8078) .
Estimated Value $31,000 - 33,000.
