Description
This 1811 CAPPED BUST $5, TALL 5 is a choice mint state representative, certified MS64+ by PCGS, with details that merit close attention. Surfaces show satiny luster; high-grade preservation, the kind of technical quality advanced collectors study closely. Half eagles were a cornerstone of 19th-century gold commerce, and better preserved examples are closely studied for originality and surface quality. The Bass pedigree adds a further layer of provenance, a point of real interest to collectors who track important cabinets. Certification records note only 3 graded finer. The coin has natural appeal for advanced gold collectors who emphasize originality and certified quality.
