Early Half Eagles
1800 $5 BD-5, High R.3 -- Improperly Cleaned -- NGC Details. AU. Bass-Dannreuther Die State e/c. A well-defined straw-gold example of this challenging Heraldic Eagle date. The portrait and obverse field exhibit a number of abrasions, but the reverse is only lightly marked. Luster accompanies design elements. A late die state, but without the clash marks near LIBERTY seen on some examples.
