Lot 1985
1806 $5 Capped Bust. Round top 6. . M-84. PCGS graded MS-64. Frosty mint luster and well struck for this common die variety. Remarkably, these dies held up very well and quite a large number were coined. Attrition rates were still very high, and most of these were lost or melted over the years. This one is in the old style green insert PCGS holder. Further, PCGS has graded 28 this high, but more importantly, only a single coin is graded higher at MS-65. That makes this one of the nicest to survive of this important type coin. Rich gold color with a splash of copper on the right side of the reverse. A very attractive and visually appealing coin in every way. No adjustment marks and this one is well struck.
Estimated Value $15,000 - 20,000.
