Description

Attractive 1812 Select Five Dollar

1812 $5 MS63 NGC. Breen-6466, BD-1, R.3. There are two varieties of the 1812 half eagle, both of which have the same obverse. The BD-1 has the reverse feather tip positioned over the right edge of the flag of the 5, and a very widely spaced 5 D, the D wholly under the branch (BD-2, the close 5 D has the D mostly under the feather).
Greenish-gold patina adorns both sides of this Select example that exhibits sharply struck devices. The borders and interstices of the design elements offer the most effusive luster. A few minor handling marks are not out of context with the grade designation. Quite an attractive piece overall.(Registry values: P2)
