Lot 4418
1811 $5 Capped Draped Bust. Small 5. . BD-2, Breen-6464, Miller-116. NGC graded MS-64. Well struck with light golden toning. There is a hair-thin line on the neck. The same small 5 punched used in 1810 was used for this reverse, but this is from a different die. Some would place the Tall 5 combination with this obverse (BD-1) to be much scarcer than this variety with the Small 5 reverse. However, auction data indicate the Small 5 appears only 25 to 50 percent more often. Neither is especially scarce in "average" condition, but choice Mint States like the example offered in this lot are scarce. They appear infrequently in auctions. This warmly colored example displays beams of golden metallic detail in virtually all areas. Struck with mathematical precision by the dies. Pop 8; 5 finer; 4 in 65; 1 in 66. (PCGS # 8109) .
Estimated Value $35,000 - 38,000.
