1803/2 BD-3 Half Eagle, AU50
Intermediate Die State

1803/2 $5 BD-3, R.4, AU50 PCGS. Bass-Dannreuther Die State e/b-f/b -- the obverse is lapped and cracked through the left-hand stars and at the R, but the reverse does not show the late die state crack through the shield. The coin is partially lustrous and bright yellow-gold. Moderate strike weakness is seen on the eagle's left (facing) foot and the adjacent side of the shield. Scattered handling marks are consistent with the reputation of early half eagles. The T in UNITED is recut on this variety.
