Early Half Eagles
1806 $5 Knob 6, 7x6 Stars, BD-6, R.2, MS62 PCGS. CAC. Bass-Dannreuther Die State b/c. The obverse has a faint die crack from the border to the lowest curl, and the reverse has a die crack through the N of UNITED to the arrows. There is no rust lump on the R of LIBERTY. The 1806 Knob 6 half eagle is the most plentiful half eagle variety coined from 1795 to 1834. Examples are obtainable in all grades through MS64, although Mint State pieces are in strong demand for type collections. This lovely piece has subdued greenish-gold luster with a splash of steel-blue toning on the reverse. Slight reverse adjustment marks are noted below the right wing.
