Lot 1915
1803/2 $5 Capped Bust. NGC graded AU-53 M-55, Rarity 5. Untoned. Still-evident luster on both surfaces. A touch of weakness is seen at the central hair above the ear but not on the eagle, its shield, or the supporting elements of the "busy" design on the reverse. The point about discussing the grade and visual quality of a coin is often one of etiquette, with some catalogers providing an autopsy rather than a free-flowing discussion of the coin's merits. In matters of etiquette, we'll let this handsome 1803/2 half eagle speak for itself, is has all the advantages a collector is looking for. "I am easy in my mind" will be the afterthought of the successful bidder, upon claiming his prize following the sale.
Estimated Value $7,000 - 7,500.
