Early Half Eagles
1806 $5 Knob 6, 7x6 Stars, BD-6, R.2 -- Obverse Improperly Cleaned -- NGC Details. Unc. Bass-Dannreuther Die State d/e. This coin represents the available BD-6 variety, with the stars arranged 7x6 on the obverse. The design elements are sharply detailed in most areas, but show a touch of softness on the juncture of the left (facing) wing and shield on the reverse. Some clash marks are evident on the reverse, but the pleasing orange-gold surfaces are lightly marked overall. Some faint planchet adjustment marks are seen on the bust. Obverse luster is a trifle dimmed by the noted cleaning.
