Lot 1438
1798 $5 Capped Bust. Large eagle. NGC graded AU-58. Light to moderate adjustment markson the obverse. Cascading bright golden luster is seen somersaulting across the surface as it radiates on both sides of this untoned example. This is a average strike of the early Capped Bust style, with weak detail to central areas. Partly this may be traced to the adjustment which removed metal in the center of the coin, possibly restricting the flow into the deepest die recesses. Pop 21; 19 finer.
Estimated Value $20,000 - 22,000.
