Attractive 1805 Half Eagle, BD-3, Choice XF

1805 $5 XF45 PCGS. Wide Date, Breen-6444, BD-3, High R.5. Bass-Dannreuther call this pairing the Imperfect 1, Wide Date, since the 1 is missing its bottom left serif. The flag of the 5 is embedded in the bust. On the reverse--which is shared with the BD-2, BD-4, and BD-5 of 1805 and the BD-1 of 1806--the leaf tip is free of the I in AMERICA and IT are separated. This Choice XF example shows mostly yellow-gold surfaces with tinges of lilac near the upper obverse rim. Only minor adjustment marks appear in the shield lines on the reverse, with a modicum of luster still present. A nice problem-free example.(Registry values: P2)
