Lot 1920
1805 $5 Capped Bust. NGC graded MS-62 Breen-1B. 33,183 coins minted. Extensive die breaks through the stars and LIBERTY. Glittering rivers of flame-colored mint frost from center to periphery. Virtually fully struck in the outer two-thirds of the design, with just a trace of weakness at the centers as often seen on this year's strikes. There is light "adjusting" across the central eagle and lower shield, possibly accounting for the lessened detail in those areas. A frosty coin that will win the heart of any advanced collector of early gold. Pop 34; 45 finer.
Estimated Value $12,000 - 14,000.
