Lot #1241:
1804 DRAPED BUST $5 GOLD EAGLE — PGA AU58+
Attractive AU58+ early gold showing strong remaining mint brilliance and well-preserved surfaces for this early pre-1800 type. Liberty’s portrait is sharply defined, with crisp curls and clean fields that retain a smooth, high-end look. The reverse eagle is equally bold, with clear feather detail and a confident strike. Light, even friction keeps the coin just shy of Mint State, but the overall eye appeal is unmistakably premium. A standout AU+ example of a highly desirable early Federal half eagle. There is a disturbance at 12 o'clock at the rim. Maybe a repair. Mentioned for accuracy.
