Description

1795 BD-6 Half Eagle, AU50
Small Eagle, S Over D Blunder

1795 $5 Small Eagle, S Over D, BD-6, R.5, AU50 NGC. Ex: Hilt Collection. BD-5 and BD-6 share the blundered reverse die with the second S in STATES entered over a D. Presumably, the inattentive engraver confused STATES with UNITED. No attempt was made to efface the D, and its curve, upright, and serifs are prominent. The variety is mentioned in the Guide Book but does not receive a separate line listing. BD-5 is very rare, and collectors that seek the S over D variety nearly always select an example of BD-6. The present example has wheat-gold centers and rose-red borders. Tiny marks are peppered throughout but none are of individual significance. An opportunity to acquire a better grade blundered legend representative.
