Lot 2133
1806 $5 Capped Bust. NGC graded MS-63. Round 6. This obverse shows the stars arranged 7 and 6, the date has a knob-top 6 firmly touching the bust. The obverse field is hallmarked by some lovely warm golden patches of toning around and partially on Liberty's hair, while the reverse shows more extensive deep golden hues. Everything delightful and sharply detailed including most of the U.S. shield. The eagle's neck and wing plumage very sharp. Diligent search reveals a very few light hairlines and marks that qualify it under NGC's MS63 nomenclature. The principal devices on both sides are marvelously frosty, all complemented by richly glowing luster. Population studies find the Knob 6 variety is somewhat easier to acquire than the Pointed 6 type but historic prices are close. The most recent NGC Census shows: Pop 48; 29 finer.
Estimated Value $25,000 - 26,000.
