Description

Vibrant Mint State 1803/2 Five Dollar, BD-3

1803/2 $5 MS61 NGC. Breen-6441, BD-3, R.4. The right foot of the T in LIBERTY is broken at bottom, and the 3 is free of the bust. On the reverse the T in UNITED is double-punched, with its base close to the E adjacent. Bass-Dannreuther describe the BD-1 through BD-3 die marriages each as "1803/2 Imperfect T, 3 Free of Bust" and rate each R.4 or R.5, in the case of BD-2.
The present Mint State example offers lots of vibrant mint luster over greenish-gold surfaces. Although there is minor field chatter, there is little contact worthy of individual mention, and adjustment marks are absent on either side.(Registry values: P2)
