Lot 881
1800 $5 Capped Bust. NGC graded MS-61. Nice for the grade, this coin has moderate handling marks in the fields but is sharply struck on every device. Apparently an early die state, as no cracks are visible. The sixth star on the reverse (top row, counting from the left) was recut 3 times, diagnostic to the variety. There are some very light, and we mean light, adjustment marks visible on the dentils above AME on the reverse, and an attached planchet flake between AM of AMERICA. Light gold toning on the upper devices, and appealing, with reflective fields on both sides.
Estimated Value $5,000 - 6,000.
