1804 BD-2 Quarter Eagle, XF40
14 Stars Reverse

1804 $2 1/2 14 Stars Reverse, BD-2, R.4, XF40 PCGS. Bass-Dannreuther Die State b/a. A radial crack east of 4 in date is faintly visible. The popular blundered die with 14 stars above the eagle instead of the proper 13 stars. One of only two 1804-dated varieties, and since the 13 Star Reverse (BD-1) is High R.6, BD-2 is integral to a date collection. This is a predominantly straw-gold example with glimpses of orange toning near the borders. Generally sharply struck, although due to the die alignment, the obverse is softly defined at 8 o'clock on the obverse, and at 10 o'clock on the reverse. Lustrous and splendidly detailed for the XF40 grade. The obverse has a faint vertical hairlines, and the left obverse field has a few pinscratches. Encapsulated in a green label holder.
