Early Half Eagles
1805 $5 BD-3, High R.5, AU58 PCGS. CAC. Bass-Dannreuther Die State a/e, with clashing at the lower reverse and a rim break over (STATE)S. BD-3 represents the only use of Obverse 2, showing a broken left foot on the 1 and star 9 close to the Y, and the second of five uses of Reverse B with IT in UNITED spaced widely. This die pair is much scarcer than BD-1 and BD-2, but far more available than BD-4 or BD-5, both of which are very rare. Perhaps 35 to 45 examples are known.
This near-Mint half eagle features a pinpoint impression on the portrait, stars, and feathers. Both sides are yellow-gold with a touch of semiprooflikeness throughout the obverse. Lightly marked and virtually devoid of friction. A diagonal adjustment mark appears across Liberty's cap and curls.
From The Hutchinson Collection.
