Description

1803 BD-5 Eagle, AU58
Extra Star On Cloud

1803 $10 Large Reverse Stars, Star on Cloud, BD-5, High R.4, AU58 NGC. Bass-Dannreuther Die State g/b, with reverse die cracks. BD-5, one of two Large Reverse Stars varieties for the year and one of six 1803 die marriages overall, features a distinctive 14th star on the rightmost cloud. It is small and may be difficult to see, but it is evident on this example. Harry Bass discovered the variety in 1966, and today it is believed that between 90 and 110 examples survive. It is actually the second most collectible marriage among 1803 eagles behind the BD-3 Small Reverse Stars variety. This is a well-detailed yellow-gold example in near-Mint condition. Partial luster remains, and just a bit of softness occurs over the centers. Adjustment marks are noted on the reverse.
