Description
1805 BD-1 Quarter Eagle, AU58
Dual-Denomination Dies
1805 $2 1/2 BD-1, R.4, AU58 NGC. Ex: The Paramount
Collection. Bass-Dannreuther Die State b/a. A die crack travels
from the top left stars through LIB. John Dannreuther makes the
point that the "mintage figure for this year may be one of the
firmest to date, as it is believed that all 1,781 coins delivered
in 1805 were of that date... ." This was the only die pair used to
strike those coins, and it was later employed in the production of
1806 BD-1 and BD-2 quarter eagles, 1807 BD-1 quarter eagles, and
1807 JR-1 dimes. The dual-denomination nature of the dies certainly
adds to the appeal of this scarce issue. Only 100 to 150 pieces are
thought to exist.This borderline-Uncirculated representative features dramatic reddish-gold color and splashes of cobalt-blue around the borders. Although the highest points of the design are incomplete, it is a result of strike softness rather than wear; stars 4 through 7 are razor-sharp and appear virtually unworn. Adjustment marks occur at the lower and central obverse, while a few small hits are noted on the other side. Census: 14 in 58, 13 finer (12/20).
From The Paramount Collection.
