1800 $5 Capped Bust PCGS AU55
The 1800 mintage of 37,628 pieces is in line with others of the period, and all early half eagles of this type (heraldic eagle reverse) can be considered scarce in the context of the series. A well struck, attractive example with a few light marks and hairlines noted on the surfaces but ideally this has some mint frost within the devices and extending into the fields. The reverse, as often happens on a high-end AU specimen, shows more luster from the protecting aspects of the more intricate design on this side of the coin.
