Description

1795 BD-3 Half Eagle, XF40
Early Die State

1795 $5 Small Eagle, BD-3, High R.3, XF40 NGC. Bass-Dannreuther Die State b/a, or possibly earlier as the obverse die crack from the border to star 12 is not readily apparent. John Dannreuther writes: "May exist in state a [without the crack] in this combination, as the crack probably occurred during this production run." Scattered marks are apparent on this lightly circulated example, although none of those marks are readily apparent. Wisps of orange overtones appear on the light yellow-gold surfaces of this important first-year half eagle variety.
