Challenging MS62 1818 Half Eagle
STATESOF, BD-2

1818 $5 STATESOF MS62 PCGS. Breen-6470, BD-2, R.4. Bass-Dannreuther Die State c. This lemon-gold early half eagle exhibits extensive luminous luster, and the strike is exquisite except for slight softness along the left border of the shield. Generally quite clean for the assigned grade, although careful examination reveals a patch of faint vertical marks on the right obverse field. The dies are rotated clockwise 45 degrees, and the obverse is bisected by a slender die crack between 5 and 11 o'clock. STATESOF is a popular Guide Book variety. The engraver spaced the TAT in STATES too widely, which compelled the placement of the O in OF close to the final S in STATES. Population: 8 in 62, 19 finer (3/09).(Registry values: P4)
