Lot 1992
1808 $5 Capped Draped Bust. 8 over 7. . M-104. PCGS graded MS-61. Bright and frosty on the obverse, with just a hint of coppery toning in the stars, the reverse is rich with loads of copper toning and eye appeal. Minor adjustment marks through the lower obverse on Liberty's bust to the rim. Typical handling marks on the surfaces, but more eye appeal than one would expect for the moderate grade. PCGS has graded just 3 this high, with 4 graded higher of the overdate variety. These overdates are much rarer than the regular issue 1808 half eagles.
Estimated Value $7,500 - 8,500.
