Early Half Eagles
1807 $5 Bust Right, BD-4, High R.4, XF40 PCGS. Bass-Dannreuther Die State c/a. The obverse has a die crack from the crown of the cap to the border, and that crack appeared when the die was used for BD-3. No additional cracks have formed, so this is the earliest die state of the scarce BD-4 die marriage. John Dannreuther estimates that just under 100 examples are known in all grades. This pleasing piece has light yellow gold surfaces with trivial hairlines and marks on each side.
