1795 Small Eagle Five, AU Details
Sharply Detailed BD-3 Example
1795 $5 Small Eagle, BD-3, High R.3 -- Improperly Cleaned -- NGC
Details. AU. Bass-Dannreuther Die State c/b. Of the 12 Small
Eagle die varieties known for the 1795 half eagle, BD-3 is the most
frequently encountered, and is typically the variety represented in
type collectors' cabinets. Still, with only 175 to 225 examples
believed extant, BD-3 is scarce in any condition. The obverse die
was previously employed for BD-2 and is later seen in its final use
with BD-4; the reverse is seen here in its only use, although a
terminal die state is not yet known.This example is well-detailed and evenly struck, with unusually strong detail in Liberty's hair curls and on the eagle's breast feathers. Smooth, slightly muted surfaces are the product of old cleaning, although the overall green-gold hue is not unattractive. There are no major abrasions and the quality of the strike is excellent.
