Impressive 1800 Five Dollar, AU55, BD-5

1800 $5 AU55 NGC. Breen-6438, BD-5, High R.3. Few collectors are aware of the two different date styles used for 1800 half eagles, primarily because the single variety with a pointed 1, that is a 1 with a full serif at the upper left, is extremely rare. Only about half a dozen examples are known. All others, like the present specimen, have a blunt 1 in the date.
This lovely Choice AU piece has reflective and attractive light yellow-gold surfaces that show occasional reddish accents. A few scattered marks are reflected in the fields. A desirable coin for the date or type collector.(Registry values: P2)
