Lot 3281
1813 $5 Capped Head. NGC graded MS-60. A popular type coin. Mostly untoned. There is a short line in the field opposite Liberty's nose. An very bright and lustrous About Uncirculated that prospective bidders may use as a standard-bearer for other examples that share this grade. In addition to the strike being forthright and crisp, it is only reasonable to expect some residual luster. And luster there is on this piece, a frosty specimen. The new larger Liberty head was introduced in 1813. The Mint's coin engraver, John Reich, continued at his duties, as seen in his secret "signature" of a chip out of one point of the 13th star. Pop 8; 168 finer (PCGS # 8116) .
Estimated Value $8,000 - 8,500.
Ex: The Brentwood Park Estate.
