  1802/1. PCGS. MS-62.

  $22,995.00

  A lovely example of this popular overdate with the 2/1 being clear and bold enough to see without magnification. Satiny peach-gold luster coats attractive surfaces that show minor abrasions but nothing significant enough to detract from this coin's strong eye appeal.

  Item #251258 (1 / 59)
• 
  1805. PCGS. MS-63.

  $29,500.00

  An outstanding example of this scarce early type with bright yellow-gold luster and choice surfaces. Devoid of significant abrasions with none of the mint made adjustment marks that tend to plague these early gold issues.

  Item #250909 (2 / 59)
• 
  1810. PCGS. AU-58.

  $12,500.00

  Small Date. Tall 5. Well struck with nearly full luster. The 100,287 mintage is tiny by modern standards, but was the largest for this early 'type'.

  1813. PCGS. MS-63.

  $27,500.00

  A lovely first-year example of the Capped, also known as 'fat head', design which is one of the rarest and most desirable of the early gold types.

A super collector coin with fantastic eye appeal!
