1808 $5 PCGS AU58 CAC

I’ve owned and sold quite a few Capped Bust half eagles but 1808 is one date that I get to buy and sell far less frequently than 1810, 1811 and 1812.    This particular piece is a real delight in hand with frosty luster and pleasing peripheral color.  Early gold like this in high AU grades and CAC approval are in high demand as they represent a great option for collectors looking to get a coin that looks mint state without the added cost.
