1813 Half Eagle, Near-Mint
Scarcer BD-2 Variety
First Generation Holder

1813 $5 BD-2, R.4, AU58 PCGS. CAC. Bass-Dannreuther Die State d/b, as usual with delicate die cracks along the tops of MERI. There are very few early half eagles still housed in first generation PCGS holders, but here is an important opportunity to acquire such an example for a "rattler" type set. Most examples of the first-year 1813 Capped Head Left half eagle are BD-1, but the present lot is the very scarce BD-2 variety with a widely spaced ST in STATES. The peach-gold surfaces are free from detractions. The curls display slight wear, and the strike is shy of complete on the eagle's claws, but the eye appeal and originality are highly impressive.
