1804 Draped Bust Half Eagle, AU50
Small 8, BD-2

1804 $5 Small 8, BD-2, High R.4, AU50 PCGS. Bass-Dannreuther Die State d/f. A tiny crack connects the tops of TY in LIBERTY. This hardy reverse die was used to strike two 1803 varieties and four 1804 varieties, while this obverse failed relatively quickly. About 3,000 to 6,000 BD-2 half eagles are believed to have been struck, of which 70 to 90 coins survive, per John Dannreuther. This bright yellow-gold example exhibits splashes of reddish color on each side and a touch of high-point rub over evenly well-stuck devices.
