1806 $5 Capped Bust. Round 6. PCGS graded MS-62 PQ. A well struck example loaded with frosty mint luster; all lightly toned. Rich soft yellow gold surfaces show abundant satiny cartwheel luster.

The toning is warm and the strike is full-featured at Liberty's cap and hair, with only a scant few traces of softness running across the left side of the shield on the reverse. No marks of note are seen on the reverse either, even under scrutiny with a glass, the almost immaculate fields seem to glow. Some light hairlines may be all keep this piece from a higher designation. Pop 56; 100 finer (PCGS # 8089) .
