Lot Description

A nice, choice AU BD-6. Honey orange surfaces have a hint of soft luster that clings to the devices. Sharply struck up, the devices are of pleasing quality. Light contact and minor friction are accounted for in the grade. The eye appeal is decent and this is a very popular early gold type. PCGS 50, NGC 34. The last one to sell brought $6,900 in June 2020, but prior to that, one sold in December 2019 for $8,700. The current Collectors Universe value is $12,500. Always popular among type collectors, the 1806 is a great date to represent the Capped Bust Right design type, and in demand as such. Cert. Number 566425-002 PCGS # 8089
