1812 $5 Capped Draped Bust. PCGS graded AU-58. Light yellow gold. Pop 30. A satiny frosted example of this historic issue (associated with the opening of America's second war with Great Britain in 1812), a coin displaying ample underlying luster that bolsters the beauty of the sharp relief of Liberty and the eagle. The eagle has a few areas soft and improperly struck by the dies, also there are a few light marks in the shield and nearby wing, but all in all this is an above-average example. Certainly one whose fresh frosty luster has an alluring quality to it. For bidders who have tried but failed to find an acceptable early $5 gold piece, there is no need to admit failure and give up the struggle, examine this handsome 1812 and see if it doesn't measure up to the requirements (PCGS # 8112) .
Estimated Value $6,500 - 7,500.
