With a mintage of 99,581 and an estimated survival of only 300 pieces, this PCGS 1811 Capped Bust Half Eagle, Small 5, is a rare and sought-after coin, especially since it is 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, which signifies it is among the finest of its kind.

This attractive MS61 example is sharply defined with a solid strike and bold satin granular luster on both sides. 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. Completely original and in high-end condition for its grade, it exemplifies the beauty and rarity of the 1811 Capped Bust Left half eagle, an issue popular among collectors but rarely encountered in Mint State.

A 1811 $5 Small, in original Uncirculated condition, is undervalued in lower MS grades when compared to AU55 and AU58 examples. A 1811 $5 Tall MS61 PCGS CAC piece sold for $20,400 02/22 at HA, and the market has appreciated since then, further enhancing the appeal of this scarce and sought-after coin.
