Select 1812 Wide 5D Half Eagle, BD-1

1812 $5 MS63 PCGS. CAC. Wide 5D, Breen-6466, BD-1, R.3. The two 1812 half eagle varieties for the year use a common obverse, but the reverses differ in the distance between the 5 and the D, with the Wide 5D variant being more common but still scarce in all grades. This Wide 5D piece comes from an earlier die state without widespread and prominent clash marks. The devices on both sides are well-defined, and the rich butter-yellow luster lends this coin considerable eye appeal. Light abrasions and minor pinscratching affect the obverse fields. Population: 43 in 63, 45 finer (6/09).(Registry values: P2)
