    Description

    1811 Small 5 Half Eagle, MS61
    BD-2, High-End for Grade

    1811 $5 Small 5, BD-2, R.3, MS61 NGC. The 1811 Small 5 half eagle shares a mintage of 98,851 pieces with the other variety of this date, the Tall 5. The Small 5 is slightly more common and ranks as one of the most available Capped Bust Left half eagles, and it is recommended for inclusion in a complete type set. The characteristic Small 5 numeral punch was previously used on two rare half eagle varieties in 1810 (BD-2, BD-3) and continued to be used in 1812 (BD-1, BD-2).

    This Mint State coin will attract the attention of type collectors and early half eagle specialists alike. The coin is high-end for the assigned grade, with only light field chatter visible on both sides but no singularly mentionable abrasions. Tiny adjustment marks are noted at the obverse rim above stars 6 and 7, scarcely visible without a glass.
    Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 9/2008), lot 3603, where it sold for $12,075.

    The outcome of the auction far exceeded my best hopes and would not likely have been as successful with out your sound advice on where to present the coin and how best to set the reserve. Throughout the process your availability , support and knowledge were exceptional.
