Bright Yellow-Gold 1804 Small 8 Five Dollar
MS61, BD-2

1804 $5 Small 8 MS61 NGC. Small Date, Breen-6443, BD-2, High R.4. Obverse State c, Reverse State e. Both dies were extensively used, and the reverse was used with four 1804-dated obverses. This particular coin shows the vertical rim-to-rim die crack, and the reverse shows the die crack from the rim through the E in AMERICA to the right side of the shield. The reverse has been lapped and there are no traces of die clashing as seen on previous die states. The BD-2 variety is considered "available" with an estimated 70-90 pieces believed known in all grades. The surfaces are bright yellow-gold with semireflective fields. Each side has numerous but small abrasions. The striking details are remarkably strong on the reverse with strong breast feather definition above the shield, but slight softness is noted on Liberty's hair on the obverse.(Registry values: P2)
