Lot 1440
1806 $5 Capped Bust. Pointed 6, 8X5 Stars. PCGS graded MS-62. BD-2, Breen-6447. Lightly toned and frosty. What is most noticeable when one first examines this coin is its thick mint luster -- it swirls unimpeded by noticeable abrasions and is lightly capped by natural color. A coin of singular beauty and importance to the collector in this affordable grade. Substantial detail to the highpoints on this fine example are noted in the hair waves and most of the eagle's plumage, although an ineffectual imprint was left in a few areas around the shield by the recoil of the dies. The obverse has a die crack through the stars on the left. The 6 in the date overlaps the bust. Perfect Ts on the reverse. Pop 9; 18 finer; 13 in 63; 5 in 64. (PCGS # 8090) .
Estimated Value $17,000 - 18,000.
