1808 $5 Gold Capped Draped Bust. PCGS graded MS-61 Miller-106, Breen 4-A. R-6. A frosty and rich yellow pleasing uncirculated example of this popular type coin for the Bust Left series. A very intriguing specimen with die clashing causing the letters US to be seen inverted above the 18 of the date. Unquestionably uncirculated in condition and only some small and randomly placed light scratches are keeping this piece from the Choice category. A scarce Rarity-6 die variety that is easily identified by the 1 in the date being high and to the left and the U and 5 on the reverse are cramped by the lower leaves. Population 15 with 34 finer by PCGS (PCGS # 8102) .
Estimated Value $5,500 - 6,000.
