Lot 1925
1806 $5 Capped Bust. Round 6. NGC graded MS-62. Well struck and untoned. There are a few tiny nicks on the cap and facial area but generally lustrous and well cared for, with the rims extra choice on this sometimes problematic early gold Type. Light gold in color, with sharp definition on drapery, cap, and hair. The eagle's breast feathers are sharp, with the only even slightly soft detail noted at the two upper curves of the shield outline, hardly earthshaking in such an important historic gold coin! 54,417 coins minted. Pop 29; 24 finer.
Estimated Value $13,000 - 15,000.
