Description

1803/2 BD-1 Half Eagle, MS62
Available 1803/2 Variety

1803/2 $5 BD-1, R.4, MS62 PCGS. Bass-Dannreuther Die State a/b showing light reverse die cracks. This is the first use of the obverse die that remained in production for BD-2 and BD-3. The reverse die was previously used for 1802/1 BD-7. A second obverse die, also overdated, was introduced for BD-4. The present piece is an early die state, while later states have advanced reverse die cracks, eventually forming a cud over UN of UNITED. This lovely Mint State example has lustrous honey-gold surfaces with slight obverse field reflectivity. Scattered field marks prevent a higher grade.
