Description

1795 Five Dollar, AU55+
Small Eagle, BD-2
Better First-Year Variety

1795 $5 Small Eagle, BD-2, R.6, AU55+ NGC. Ex: Hilt Collection. A rare variety with just 20 to 25 pieces known. Stars 11 is crowded and overlaps both the Y in LIBERTY and its neighbor star. Likely, it was the final element impressed on the obverse die, except for the date. On the reverse, a leaf fragment floats above the wreath. An impressive honey-gold example of this very scarce introductory type. The obverse is very close to Mint state, since the hair and shoulder are unworn, and the cap has only a hint of wear on the folds. The high points of the eagle display moderate wear. Luster illuminates design elements. A minor lamination (as made) is apparent near the lower leaves of the branch. Relatively unabraded except for a slender diagonal mark on the right obverse field and lesser thin marks left of the wreath and above the O in OF.
