Lot 1554
1800 $5 Capped Bust. . Breen-1B. NGC graded MS-61. Nice clean planchet. Lightly toned. Effusive, smooth-as-silk mint frost in amounts so splendid it borders on unusual for such an early half eagle. The color is warm flaxen-gold to orange-gold color. Desirable with this precision strike, as noted in the photographs. Close inspection under a magnifying glass fails to detect even one instance of a noticeable mark or rim problem, although someone who wanted to could point out a minute nick on the tip of Liberty's chin. This choiceness further recommends the coin to bidders one and all. Pop 46; 55 finer. (PCGS # 8082) .
Estimated Value $10,000 - 11,000.
