1811 BD-1 Tall 5 Half Eagle, MS64
Only Three Finer at PCGS

1811 $5 Tall 5, BD-1, High R.3, MS64 PCGS. Bass-Dannreuther Die State c/e, the latest die state recorded. Just two die varieties are known for the 1811 half eagles, and they are easily identified through a solitary glance at the 5 in the denomination. This Tall 5 variety has that digit filling nearly the entire space between the border and bottom arrow feather. The Small 5 of BD-2 fills most of that space, but its bottom is far from the border. This Choice Mint State piece has brilliant yellow luster with frosty surfaces that exhibit splashes of coppery-orange toning on each side. A dark toning spot at the first T in STATES will assist with identification. Population: 8 in 64 (1 in 64+), 3 finer (11/23).
