1812 $5 Capped Draped Bust. PCGS graded AU-55. Warm and extremely brilliant (not dull) luster on satiny surfaces with only a trace of wear on the tops of the curls, the cap folds, and down Liberty's face. A touch of weakness is seen at the eagle's neck only (other areas are sharp), but here it is probably that the dies were spaced just far enough apart to prevent stronger metal flow in that high point of the design. Clean surfaces throughout with grand eye-appeal. 87,087 minted. Pop 24. (PCGS # 8112) .
Estimated Value $6,500 - 7,000.
