Lot 1972
1805 $5 Capped Bust. . M-73. PCGS graded MS-64. A rare coin in this near gem grade, the surfaces boast a rich orange gold color and the luster is full and complete. Minor handling marks scattered on each side, none are worth much notice. Sharply impressed by the dies, with fully rounded curls on Liberty, and bold stars on the obverse and reverse. There are some minor adjustment marks on the obverse, most of these reside near the date and lower drapery folds, but a few are also seen down Liberty's hair and on the rim. A high end coin that boasts excellent mint bloom and eye appeal. PCGS has graded 12 this high, with one single coin graded a notch higher in gem. Certainly one of the finest to survive, and worthy of a superb half eagle collection.
Estimated Value $15,000 - 20,000.
