Early Half Eagles
1806 $5 Knob 6, 7x6 Stars, BD-6, R.2, MS62 PCGS. CAC. Bass-Dannreuther Die State d/f. This late die state features a rust lump on the R in LIBERTY and strong clashing near the point of the shield. The 1806 Knob 6, 7x6 Stars half eagle is well-known as the most collectible Capped Bust Right half eagle. As many as 800 or 900 pieces are believed to have survived the past 210 years. About 45% of the population at PCGS are in mint condition, mostly MS61 to MS63. Anything finer than this MS62 coin is very scarce, and rarely do any examples meet the requirements for a CAC approval sticker.
Frosty and eye-appealing, this early half eagle type coin enjoys lovely straw-gold hues accompanied by accents of khaki-gold on the obverse and rose on the reverse. The stars are well brought-up and the hair strands crisply defined. Equally strong are the eagle's feathers, save for those adjacent to the left edge of the shield. The upper reverse border dentilation is incomplete, but the rims are otherwise strong. Wonderfully preserved. CAC: 15 in 62, 36 finer (10/16).
