1559- 1806 $5 Bust. Round 6 NGC MS64
<Our item number 114167><B>1806 &#36;5 Capped Bust. Round 6, 7x6 Stars. NGC graded MS-64.</B> Frosty and untoned. Breen 5-E. The only variety with Round Top 6 in date. Splendidly lustrous, both sides of this bright yellow-gold example exhibit oscillating cartwheel effects. Don&#39;t expect the usual halfhearted impression left by the striking of the &#40;sometimes worn&#41; dies that made this piece &#40;1806-dated half eagles are noted for their soft mushy strikes&#41;, for we are glad to report the opposite is true. This is a very bold coin with sharp hair curls and eagle chest feathers. The only sign that the metal did not fill the die entirely is on a portion of the lower shield where some of the vertical stripes are not complete. The luster is complete, however, and markedly so. <B>Pop 12; 1 finer in 65</B> <B>&#40;PCGS # 8089&#41;</B>. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;40,000-44,000. <BR><BR>Our item number 114167<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/41jpegs/114167.jpg" > <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/41jpegs/114167N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
