Lot 1942
1807 $5 Capped Draped Bust. Bust left. PCGS graded AU-50. Old green holder. Untoned. There are two reported die varieties for the 1807 capped bust left half eagle, both use the identical obverse. This piece has the large 5 in the date placed to the left and away from the feather ends, while B-5E has the feather end over the middle of the bar of the 5. Some reverse spotting, but otherwise well struck and lustrous for this date, a coin that features choice rims, full legends, and a pleasant aspect to both sides. There are two tiny spots at star 7, and a small nick in the dentils above the cap, but that is all, and barely deserves mentioning, with no further need to play coin detective. A choice example for the collector of early U.S. gold. 51,605 coins minted. Pop 20; 208 finer. (PCGS # 8101) .
Estimated Value $5,000 - 5,500.
