Early Half Eagles
1803/2 $5 BD-1, R.4 -- Tooled -- PCGS Genuine. VF Details. Bass-Dannreuther Die State b/c. This orange-gold example is sharp for the VF level and retains glimpses of luster in the curls and plumage. Both sides display horizontal hairlines, and the obverse is smoothed near 5 o'clock. The upper reverse also shows smoothing, but protected areas are somewhat dark and granular. Diagonal adjustment marks cross the shield and war claw.
