G$5 Turban Head $5.00 Gold | numismatic rare coins

| numismatic rare coins

Draped Bust $5


A choice example of this rare early $5 gold piece. The surfaces are clean and the strike is outstanding. The luster and color are rich and original. The gold content in U.S. coins was lowered in 1834 and most of the pre 1834 issues hit the melting pot. Survivors are rare in all grades and very rare in choice condition. A gorgeous early gold rarity.
