Early Half Eagles
1802/1 $5 BD-1, High R.4 -- Ex-Jewelry -- PCGS Genuine. XF Details. Bass-Dannreuther Die State a/b. The 2 in the date is free of the bust and the lowest star points straight to the lower point of the beak, identifying the popular BD-1 variety. The surfaces of this coin are noticeably rough, with many fine striations visible on both sides and an unnaturally bright sheen, but the design elements retain XF sharpness.
