BD-2. Starting in 1813, the $5 gold piece had its design modified from John Reich's Capped Bust Left design to an elegant Capped Head left. The portraiture of Liberty was enlarged, and has been lovingly nicknamed, the "Fat Head Five." The series is quite scarce overall, with most dates ranging from moderately scarce (as with the 1813) to essentially uncollectible (many dates, including the famed 1815 and 1822). The presently offered AU is very choice for the AU50 grade with boldly defined details and wonderful orange-gold color. Traces of original mint luster blooms in the protected devices. The wear is limited to minor friction on the surfaces and there are no serious marks anywhere. The eye appeal is very high end, and this beautiful example is housed in a green tag PCGS encapsulation. Everything about this coin is more than worthy of its accolades from CAC. PCGS 25, NGC 9, CAC 6. This was the most recent example to sell in auction, realizing $9,400 in September 2017; prior to that, a PCGS/CAC example sold in the 2013 FUN auction for $11,163. The current Collector's Universe value of $7,250 seems way too low for a coin like this, and we anticipate this wonderfully original example selling for a very strong price. Bound for a really nice type collection of gold coins. Cert. Number 4785939 PCGS # 8116
