1800 Draped Bust Gold Half Eagle ($5)

Warm, original honey-gold color blankets both sides of this 1800 half eagle, an early gold survivor with a thoroughly honest, undisturbed look. Wear is light and even, leaving bold hair curls and sharp definition in the eagle's wings and shield, with glimpses of luster tucked around the protected devices. The fields are remarkably smooth for a circulated early five, showing nothing beyond typical natural friction. Housed in an NGC holder and CAC-approved.
