1818 Capped Bust $5 Gold Half Eagle BD-1 [R5] - ANACS VF 20 Details PF-21/Cr.191 Benjamin (Secretary of the War/State)While clearly not without issue, this coin is downright scarce. First and foremost, the mintage was a scant 48,588. Secondly, only around 200 are believed extant in any grade. Finally, circulated specimens are just about split even with uncirculated specimens. Wholesale bid for "no problem" Fine 12 coins is currently $4,200 & VF 20 coins are $5,500. While this coins is clearly not "no problem" it does demand consideration with real VF details.
