Lot 3609
1795 $5 Capped Bust. Small eagle. . M-2. PCGS graded MS-62 Premium Quality. One of the most important early type coins for the advanced numismatist to acquire. The fields are slightly prooflike and the devices well frosted. The Philadelphia Mint took extra care to produce really beautiful gold coins for their first year of issue, and this one was nice enough to be saved for over 200 years! Fully struck by the dies, with no adjustment marks whatsoever. We do note minor hairlines from handling but the coin remains very eye appealing. PCGS has graded only 20 this high of the date, with 11 graded as MS-63 and 5 more above that in higher grades. A solid coin for the grade, and worthy of a strong bid.
Estimated Value $50,000-UP.
