- FROM THE BIG CYPRESS COLLECTION The 1813 represents one of only a few "collectible" dates in the Capped Head series, struck from 1813 to 1834. Most dates saw extensive wholesale export and melting down in the 1820s and 1830s when the value of the gold content was more than the five dollar face value. This trade was put to an end in 1834 when the composition was changed and the Kneass designed "classic head" was introduced. In 1813, two reverse dies were paired with a single obverse to strike all 95,428 half eagles. The present coin was struck from the BD-1 pairing which is considered to be Rarity-2. Pale yellow gold surfaces show off hints of original luster. Some light contact is noted near Liberty's lip, but otherwise the surfaces are generally clean and pleasing. A very popular coin that always is in demand from type collectors. PCGS 30, NGC 22. The most recent PCGS AU53 sold a year ago for $8,850 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $10,000. RARE in Mint State, making AU examples prefect for most collectors. Cert. Number 39411624 PCGS # 8116
