Description

Appealing MS61 1814/3 Half Eagle, BD-1

1814/3 $5 MS61 PCGS. BD-1, R.4. This overdate variety is the sole die pairing for the year, with the reverse a carryover from the previous year's BD-2 marriage. The remains of a 3 are obvious at the top of the 4 and at the right side, although on later-die-state examples the underdigit fades. A die center dot appears between the curl and the ear, although this piece shows none of the shield bar clashing frequently seen. The reverse shows broad double-punching on the D in the denomination, with the period adjacent high. The greenish-gold surfaces show considerable luster, and the distributed, scattered marks are relatively minor. The strike is bold, and the piece shows much eye appeal.(Registry values: P3)
