Uncirculated 1805 Five Dollar, BD-1
Rare BD-Unlisted Die State

1805 $5 MS61 PCGS. Close Date, Breen-6445, BD-1, High R.3. The reverse die state is undocumented, between Bass-Dannreuther c/b and c/c. There is a cud over only the U in UNITED. In later strikes the cud extended over the tops of most of UNITED. BD-1 is the only appearance of the reverse die, which can be identified in early stages by its placement of the star near the beak. That star points between the B and U in PLURIBUS, unlike the other 1805 varieties, all of which have a star pointing to the B in PLURIBUS. The present green-gold representative has ample luster and an impeccable strike. A couple of marks are concealed in the cap, but the sun-gold surfaces are otherwise surprisingly unabraded. An important opportunity for the early gold specialist.(Registry values: P2)
