Description

1812 BD-1 Half Eagle, AU55
Wide 5D., Glowing Type Coin

1812 $5 BD-1, R.3, AU55 PCGS. Bass-Dannreuther Die State a/a, without any clash marks on either side. This is the usual die state for the usual die variety for the year. BD-1 exists to the extent of 300 to 450 coins, according to John Dannreuther, making this 1812 half eagle variety one of the best suited in the series for type representation. The present example is a well-struck Choice About Uncirculated survivor with glowing luster around the devices. Luminous yellow-gold surfaces exhibit limited softness on the eagle's left (facing) wing and PLUR. Superficial abrasions are trivial. Housed in an old green label holder.
