Lot 1945
1808 $5 Capped Draped Bust. NGC graded MS-61. Frosty and untoned. A solid example of a greenish-yellow tinted gold coin, nicely bright and lustrous, with minimal abrasions or marks. Only a few stray hairlines at the cap. Choice rims. (Some die clash marks from the bust show around the eagle. These are often an integral part of early capped bust left gold coins.) Fully struck in all areas with pinpoint detailing on the tops of the hair curls and eagle's feathers. You can hardly move your loupe in any direction without bumping into the fine detail of this sharp coin. Pop 28; 60 finer.
Estimated Value $8,000 - 9,000.
