Description

Select Mint State 1813 Five Dollar
Better BD-2 Variety

1813 $5 MS63 NGC. Breen-6467, BD-2, R.4. The scarcer of only two known varieties of this introductory Capped Head Left date. This type is essentially impossible to complete, since only one 1822 is known outside of the Smithsonian and the 1815, 1825/4, and 1828/7 are extremely rare. Fortunately, the type itself is collectible, due in large part to the 1813 BD-1. The availability of that specific variety allows the astute collector to on occasion obtain the difficult BD-2 for a type price. The present example has energetic luster and undisturbed olive-gold toning. Sharply struck save for the claws, and consequential marks are limited to a trio of faint lines on the cheek.(Registry values: P2)
