1811 $5 SMALL 5 MS61 PCGS CAC

With an estimated 300 pieces in all grades, this PCGS 1811 Capped Bust Half Eagle, Small 5, is a rarer than 1807 $5, 1808 $5, 1809/8 $5, 1810 $5 LG DT LG 5 & 1812 $5. Mint State examples are desirable, and this piece stands out for its exceptional eye appeal, further validated by its CAC endorsement. Its high-quality condition makes it a valuable addition to any PCGS Mint State type set or specialized early half eagle collection. As one of the scarcer die varieties of the 1811 half eagle, this coin will attract attention from specialists of early American gold and collectors of half eagles for its Small 5 designation. Completely original and in high-end condition for its grade. A similarly rare but lower graded 1811 $5 Tall AU58 PCGS CAC just sold for $16,800 05/2025 HA and a more common choice 1807 $5 MS60 PCGS CAC sold for $19,800 05/2025 SB, whilst in MS61 PCGS CAC, a Tall 5 sold 3 years ago for $20,400 02/22 HA. Compared to what AU58 PCGS CAC have been selling for we find this grade representing excellent value. The market as can be seen by the aforementioned comps in 2025 has performed well, and this should sell for more today for this spectacular example.
