Lot 1910
1802/1 $5 Capped Bust. NGC graded MS-61 M-54, R-4. Fresh-as-a-summer-afternoon crispness leaps to the viewer's eye of choice warm golden sunset qualities in the luster and surfaces. There are a few small marks across the lower bust and drapery folds, but the surface is much freer from abrasions than usual for a coin in MS61 condition. Despite all the brightness and glitter of more modern "made of collector" Regristy coins, the early classic period half eagles are distinctly rare in this quality. They are very much at the pinnacle of respectability within the collecting community. 53,176 coins minted. Pop 42; 44 finer.
Estimated Value $10,000 - 11,000.
