MS62 1811 Small 5 Half Eagle, BD-2

1811 $5 Small 5 MS62 NGC. Breen-6464, BD-2, R.3. Bass-Dannreuther Die State e/b with prominently clashed dies. This lemon-gold early half eagle has a lustrous reverse and full luster across the obverse periphery. Friction is minimal, and both sides are refreshingly devoid of singular abrasions. Only two die varieties are known for the 1811. The obverse die is the same, but the reverses are readily distinguished by the size of the 5. The Large 5 variety is believed moderately scarcer. Both marriages are much more elusive than the 1807 BD-8 or the 1810 Large Date, Large 5, BD-4.(Registry values: P2)
