1806 BD-2 Five Dollar, MS62
Pointed 6, 8x5 Stars

1806 $5 Pointed 6, 8x5 Stars, BD-2, High R.5, MS62 PCGS. Ex: Harry W. Bass, Jr. Collection. Bass-Dannreuther Die State d/b. The usual die state with the front of Liberty's drapery lapped. BD-2 is one of five Pointed 6 die marriages for the year, distinguished by the close spacing of stars 1 and 2 to the bust and by the complete feet on the Ts in STATES. Despite a surviving population of only 30 to 35 pieces, BD-2 is one of the more collectible Pointed 6 varieties, reflecting the overall scarcity of the type. The Knob 6 coins are much more plentiful.

Tinges of reddish color complement yellow-gold surfaces. Light marks and hairlines explain the grade, but eye appeal remains good. Diagonal striations from the draw bench appear at the central obverse, and the corresponding area on the other side is incompletely struck up.
Ex: Purchased from A-Mark Coin Company (3/16/1978).
