Lot 1901
$2.50 Capped Bust. 1806, 6 over 5. NGC graded MS-61. An extremely rare coin with a mintage of a scant 480 pieces, and obviously few were saved. This particular example is well struck with good curls on Liberty and a full quotient of feathers on the eagle. Even the shield lines are present, although a few horizontal ones are slightly weak. There are a few minor adjustment marks on the obverse, some near Liberty's temple, others by the date. The fields and surfaces are clean for the grade, and ample luster resides in the fields. NGC has graded 9 examples in all, with this one the sole MS-61, and 3 others are noted higher. A fantastic rarity that belongs in a connoisseurs collection.
Estimated Value $55,000 - 65,000.
