Description
1826 Capped Head Five, AU Sharpness
Rare Early Date, Seldom Offered
1826 $5 BD-1, Large Letters, R.5 -- Cleaning -- PCGS Genuine. AU
Details. Bass-Dannreuther Die State a/e. With only two
varieties known, the 1826 five is either rare or extremely rare.
The present BD-1 Large Letters die pair is rare, with just 30 to 40
known survivors. The Small Letters BD-2 die marriage is a great
rarity, with only three pieces known, one of which is permanently
held at the National Numismatic Collection in the Smithsonian
Institution. An overly large period after 5D helps identify the
BD-1 variety; in comparison, the BD-2 period after 5D is just a
tiny dot. This example has an unmistakably large period. Sharply
struck from fresh dies, the coin was lightly cleaned at some point,
with little or no discernible wear. Brilliant, medium-gold surfaces
are lightly hairlined. This is just the second 1826 half eagle we
have offered in the past five years of any variety or grade.From The Poulos Family Collection, Part II.
