Lot 2095
1795 $5 Capped Bust. Small eagle. NGC graded AU-55. A classic example of this popular first year of issue half eagle. The surfaces show average handling marks and the gold luster is subdued from limited circulation. As to the strike, it is full on the stars and eagle, but there is some weakness on the hair over Liberty's ear. Full feathers on the eagle's wings, but the breast feathers show some of the wear and a few criss crossing adjustment marks.
Estimated Value $15,000 - 20,000.
