1795 Five Dollar, AU53
Small Eagle, BD-4

1795 $5 Small Eagle, BD-4, R.5, AU53 NGC. Ex: Hilt Collection. William H. Woodin, eventually the Secretary of Treasury under President Franklin Roosevelt, amassed an imposing coin collection, including 14 different die varieties of 1795 half eagles. Others who collected early gold by variety during the 20th century, prior to published plated die marriage references of the series, included Waldo C. Newcomer, Harry W. Bass, Jr., and Robert Hilt. Despite its scarcity relative to BD-3, the BD-4 marriage was likely in all those holdings, since the variety is promptly attributed by the placement of the wreath directly beneath the O in OF. The present orange-gold example displays substantial luster, and is well defined aside from minor incompleteness at the centers. Liberty's hair has minor adjustment marks, and the fields display the expected number of small marks and hairlines.
