Lot 1964
1813 $5 Capped Head. NCS graded Details of AU-50. Mount removed. This sharp looking coin has simply outstanding detail in Liberty's hair curls and ear as well as along the cap fold, and the boldness carries over to the reverse as well. The half eagle series underwent modifications beginning in 1813, with the head of Liberty made larger and the lower part of her bust skipped so as to allow the portrait to fill the space provided. Thriteen stars form an arch above.
Estimated Value $2,200 - 2,700.
