3279- 1806 $5 Bust. Round 6 PCGS MS-63
<Our item number 122012><B>1806 &#36;5 Capped Bust. Round 6. PCGS graded MS-63.</B> BD-6. Mostly untoned with a better than average strike. A very attractive looking coin. A problem-free coin, as anyone can see by the photographs. Magnification reveals luster racing over the surface, vivid and bright gold in appearance. What&#39;s more, the fields acquit themselves nicely in terms of the fewness of marks on this frosty specimen. The only weak areas in the strike seem to be the stars &#40;per usual&#41; and a portion of the shield where it overlaps the left wing. The Round Top 6 variety is the overwhelming favorite piece if one were to own just a single gold half eagle from this period. It displays the handsome Heraldic Eagle reverse and is affordable in all grade ranges. According to the Bass-Dannreuther guide to die varieties, &#34;There are numerous clues to prove this variety was the last produced [in 1806]… As with the 1806 half dollars, the Pointed 6 half eagle varieties had the obverse die in the hammer and the rev erse die in the anvil position. For the Knobbed 6 half dollar issues and this half eagle variety this die alignment was reversed, resulting in better-struck obverses.&#34; <B>&#40;PCGS # 8089&#41;</B>. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;22,000-24,000. <BR><BR>Our item number 122012<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/42jpegs/122012.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/42jpegs/122012N2.jpg"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/42jpegs/122012N3.jpg"> <BR> </P></IMAGES>
