Lot 1447
1813 $5 Capped Head. . BD-1. PCGS graded MS-63 CAC Approved. Well struck on a problem free planchet with intense mint luster throughout. Choice surfaces that are thoroughly frosted with keen-edged, gold luster spiraling outward from the centers in a happy display of originality. Devices were struck with the primary energy required to impart the design to the outer areas as well as enough vigor by the dies to impart clear-cut centers. This is a not well-known trait of 1813 half eagles. About the only softness in the design is located at the left wing (from the viewer's perspective) and on a few of the claws, that is all. A very attractive example of this popular type. Pop 62; 55 finer (PCGS # 8116) .
Estimated Value $20,000 - 22,000.
