Lot 2101
1806 $5 Capped Bust. Pointed top 6. . M-79. PCGS graded MS-63. This is an important type coin which is downright hard to find in mint state grades. Frosty luster abounds in the fields, and the surfaces are generally clean, keeping this in the choice category. This one is even free of the usual annoying adjustment marks, which are common on these early half eagles. An excellent coin to study, as the surfaces have no toning and each diagnostic is clear. Struck late in the reverse dies life, with a retained cud over the T in UNITED. PCGS has graded 16 this high, with just 3 graded higher, making this one of the best around.
Estimated Value $15,000 - 17,000.
