Lot 2258
1808/7 $5 Capped Draped Bust. . M-104, R-4+. NGC graded AU-58. Light yellow gold. Satin frost is boldly hypnotic on this fresh-appearing, high-end About Uncirculated. Given the proper amount of strike pressure, the coin would have been fully brought up by the dies. However, there are a few soft areas in the middle that are often encountered on this date, including weakness around the ear (possibly from broken dies), and similar lack of detail on the shield and eagle's neck feathers. Elsewhere the design is complete and in many areas bold. Rims are choice as well, without injury. Pop 38.
Estimated Value $9,000 - 10,000.
