<Our item number 98710><B>1807 $5 Capped Bust. Bust right. NGC graded AU-58 Breen-4C. Recut 1, Curl points to center of 1.</B> Well struck.Lightly toned. An very glowing and lustrous example that can be used as a benchmark for other examples that share this About Uncirculated 58 grade. While the strike is forthright and crisp, it is "only" 98% full, the main culprit as it always is on the heraldic eagle design being some minor softness along the left wing where it is overlaid by the left edge of the shield; without question the head and drapery details are complete on Liberty. This is a year of transition in the $5 gold series. Partway into the year, the Mint make major modifications to both the obverse and reverse devices, with John Reich be credited with the artistry. Collectors aspiring to purchase a high-end yet still affordable capped bust right, heraldic eagle Type for a gold coin collection, will want to think about this attractive 1807. 32,488 coins minted. <B>Pop 41; 74 finer.</B> <B R>Estimated Value $9,000-9,500. <BR><BR>Our item number 98710<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/37jpegs//098710.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/37jpegs//098710N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
