Lot 2222
1806 $5 Gold Capped Bust. Pointed 6. SEGS graded AU-50. Our grade is VF-35. Miller-75, 1-A, Rarity-6. As one of two major varieties struck in 1806, the Pointed 6, 8x5 Stars half eagle is significantly scarcer than the Rounded 6, 7x6 Stars variety. Furthermore, within the nine die marriages for the Pointed 6 variety (Breen only recorded 7 distinct Pointed 6 die marriages), the die marriage presented here is quite scarce. Surfaces are deep yellow gold with some orange highlights in protected areas. Cleaned at one point, light to moderate hairlines do exist. Luster still radiates around the peripheries. Spared any harsh marks or impairments and lacking any adjustment marks.
Estimated Value $2,200 - 2,500.
