1799 Small Reverse Stars Five, AU55
BD-1, Distinctive Cross Star Pattern
Scarce Die Pair, CAC Endorsed

1799 $5 Small Reverse Stars, BD-1, High R.5, AU55 PCGS. CAC. Bass-Dannreuther Die State b/e. A thin, second die crack extends up through the top-right point of the field star immediately above the eagle's head. Reflective yellow-gold fields surround the raised devices, with traces of old and deep-gray build-up around a few letters and numerals on each side. The strike is sharp throughout this middle die state example, with CAC endorsement confirming the Choice About Uncirculated definition and eye appeal. John Dannreuther suggests only 35 to 45 BD-1 examples exist in all grades combined. This attractive coin shows minimal marks and some luster around lightly frosted devices. Population (all Small Reverse Stars varieties combined): 18 in 55, 38 finer. CAC: 7 in 55, 11 finer (11/23).
