1795 $5 SM EAGLE

Description

1795 Small Eagle AU 55. B. 1-B. The die pairing is distinguished by the die break over the E in UNITED on the reverse. This is an exceptionally pleasing Small Eagle five that has sparkling prooflike fields and is strongly struck in the centers of each side with some of the breast feathers of the eagle even apparent. Rich reddish color accents the devices and lends even more visual interest to this high grade early gold coin. Lightly marked throughout with small pecks from brief circulation, these marks are perhaps unfairly magnified by the bright prooflike fields.
