Description

1800 BD-2 Half Eagle, MS62
Struck from Clashed Dies

1800 $5 BD-2, High R.3, MS62 PCGS Secure. Bass-Dannreuther Die State c/c with a faint diagonal die crack between the I and B of LIBERTY, and with light clash marks on both sides. The obverse clash marks extend through all of LIBERTY, and reverse clash marks are evident throughout. The 1800 BD-2 half eagle is, by a slight margin, the most plentiful variety of the date. John Dannreuther estimates 175 to 250 are known in all grades, the same estimate he gives for BD-5, but the BD-2 has a slightly greater number of auction appearances. This lovely Mint State example has a hint of contrast between the reflective fields and satin devices. Fully brilliant and lustrous yellow-gold surfaces.
