Lot 1908
1802/1 $5 Capped Bust. NGC graded MS-62. Nice golden toning. A brilliant coin with dazzling warm orange-gold luster, virtually three-dimensional, almost jumping out at the viewer. Talk about a piece with a lot of life! Beyond that, the striking is needle sharp, everything comes together to yield an opportunity that should be quite ideal. The relative absence of marks or heavy adjustment lines augments the value and beauty even more. As we see it, when it comes to the centers of the hair, cap, eagle and shield in particular, the strike is above-average, sharp, and well defined in all areas. 53,176 coins minted. Pop 16; 28 finer.
Estimated Value $13,000 - 14,000.
