Early Half Eagles
1812 $5 BD-1, R.3, MS64 NGC. Bass-Dannreuther Die State b/b, heavily clashed. A lustrous straw-gold Choice gold type coin that is splendidly devoid of abrasions. A mint-made strike-through between the right (facing) wing and AMERICA is all that disrupts the frosty yellow-gold luster. Consistent with the late die state, this piece is struck from boldly clashed dies. A good die impression with moderate incompleteness on the shield and left wing characterizes each side. The curved die scratch (as made) on the horizontal shield stripes is as diagnostic for the variety, as is the widely spaced denomination. An impressive example in a grade that provides an excellent combination of quality and value. Census: 30 in 64, 10 finer (5/08).
Ex: Summer FUN Signature (Heritage, 6/2008), lot 1973.
Selections From The Collection of Dr. Donald Knaack.
