Description

1804 Half Eagle, MS61, BD-3
Formerly Called the Small 8 Variety

1804 $5 Small 8 MS61 NGC. Breen-6443, BD-3, R.5. Obverse State b, Reverse State b. This die pairing shows the Normal 8 (formerly thought to be a Small 8), with a large 4 in the date that has a "line" under the digit. The 4 was first punched too low in the die, then repunched higher, yet the bottom half of the original digit still shows. A die crack runs from star 10 through Liberty's mouth. This lustrous piece has lovely yellow-gold surfaces that have mellowed slightly to deeper amber-gold around the peripheral devices. A few light scrapes and abrasions can be seen, but there is strictly no sign of rub. The reverse die is rotated about 45 degrees counterclockwise.(Registry values: P2)
