1795 Half Eagle, AU Details
Rare BD-8, Small Eagle

1795 $5 Small Eagle, BD-8, High R.5 -- Repaired -- NGC Details. AU. Ex: Hilt Collection. Bass-Dannreuther Die State a/a. BD-8 is a rare 1795 half eagle variety, with only 30 to 40 examples believed known in all grades. The obverse die is seen here in its first of four uses, its final use being on the currently unique BD-13 Large Eagle variety; this reverse die was also employed for the rare BD-1 1798 variety. The present example of the BD-8 die pairing is boldly and evenly struck, with just slight wear over the central design elements. Both sides show unnaturally bright, yellow-gold coloration with a slightly dusky hue, a product of the well-executed repair work in the fields on both sides. A still-pleasing coin to the unaided eye.
