Lot 1995
1810 $5 Capped Draped Bust. Small date, tall 5. . M-113. PCGS graded MS-64. One of the finest graded of this popular date, this one has glorious copper hues over mint bloom. A few faint adjustment marks can be seen under and into the left wing on the eagle and along the rim above. Rarely are the early half eagles found in such a lovely state of preservation, as most circulated. To locate a near gem is quite unusual, and this is borne out by the PCGS Population Report, which notes 7 graded this high and just a single coin graded higher as MS-65. It is fun to note that the 5 in the denomination is quite large, and the dentils had to be engraved very low in order to not touch the long loop of this digit. An enticing specimen for the specialist.
Estimated Value $30,000 - 40,000.
