1811 $5 SMALL 5 AU55 PCGS CAC

This 1811 $5 Capped Bust is a highly coveted numismatic treasure. Part of the Small 5 variety, this coin is one of only 225 to 300 estimated survivors, and is rarer than 1807, 1809/8, 1810 Large Date Large 5 and 1812 $5 by about twice as rare. It is a better date that is in our opinion undervalued. With a CAC population of 8 in this grade and 34 finer, this piece stands out as a rare find in this condition. Valued at $13,000 by the PCGS Price Guide and $14,000 by the CAC Price Guide. The absence of an auction record for this grade further highlights its exclusivity, though a AU50 PCGS CAC sold for $11,250 01/23 and a AU58 NGC CAC for $14,100 04/22. This coin boasts rich orange-gold coloring and is sharply struck with minimal wear. The coin's eye appeal is exceptional, with smooth surfaces that are unquestionably high-end for the grade. A great combination of luster seen on the reverse paired with some toning between the devices with a crusty D.O.G (Dirty Old Gold) look.
