Early Half Eagles
1799 $5 Small Reverse Stars, BD-2, High R.5, AU58 PCGS. Bass-Dannreuther Die State b/e. This piece exhibits myriad clash marks and several die cracks on each side. Several adjustment marks are evident on the obverse, with a number of surface marks on each side. The small reverse stars are arranged in a line pattern with the second star in the second row attached to the top of the eagle's beak. A trace of high-point rub is noted on each side, with essentially complete satin luster. Central obverse and reverse weakness is evident at and opposite the obverse adjustment marks. An attractive and important example.
