Lot 1902
1800 $5 Capped Bust. NGC graded MS-61 M-42, R-4. Light golden toning. Semi reflective surfaces. The surfaces on this handsome coin are judged by us (and we are certain, by all who view it) to be vibrant gold in color, with warm orange overlay of toning, and quite lustrous, semi-prooflike as mentioned. In equal parts, the grade acts on behalf of its outstanding appearance. Don't expect the usual halfhearted impression left by the striking of the (sometimes worn) dies that made this year's coinage, for as the photographs report the strength of detail from the centers outwards, and on both sides, is first-rate. This is a very bold coin.Pop 44; 54 finer.
Estimated Value $10,000 - 12,000.
