Lot 2230
1813 $5 Gold Capped Head. PCGS graded AU-58. An accurately graded and very appealing choice AU example of this most popular early type coin! While friction on the brow and lower cheek determine the technical grade of this example, we note that the surfaces are exceptionally clean, frosty and near "uncirculated" in appearance. In fact, this is one of the finer AU examples that this cataloguer has seen in quite some time. Lustrous and spared any disturbing hits or adjustments, this 1813 is a extremely desirable representation of a type that has few collectible issues to offer. For instance, aside from the 1813, only the 1814/3, 1818 and 1820 Square 2 are seen with any frequency in the trade. The 1813 is by far the most frequently seen issue of the Small Bust, Large Size issues and this superbly choice specimen is a fantastic type candidate. PCGS has graded 33 in AU-58 (PCGS # 8116) .
Estimated Value $4,500 - 5,000.
