1795 $5 Small Eagle, BD-3, High R.3 -- Polished -- NGC Details. AU. Ex: Hilt Collection. Bass-Dannreuther Die State c/b. BD-3 is the most often seen of the 12 1795 Small Eagle half eagle varieties, but its availability is only in relation to other early gold coin varieties, as there are still only 175 to 225 pieces believed extant in all grades. This is one of three uses for this obverse, and the only use of this reverse die. This coin is boldly struck, and the only trace of wear seems to be from the polishing of the surfaces that left the fields with a bright, flashy yellow-gold appearance. The relative availability of this variety, coupled with its first year of issue status, makes it highly popular among type and date collectors alike.
