Still updating the registry and sharing the rarer specimens.
1805 Five Dollar, BD-1, MS61
Pinpoint-Sharp Strike
1805 $5 BD-1, High R.3, MS61 PCGS. Bass-Dannreuther Die State a/a, without a vertical die crack through the 0 in the date. The left foot of the 1 is intact -- an obvious die marker for the most collectible variety among 1805 half eagles. According to Early U.S. Gold Coin Varieties, possibly more than 200 coins survive. Of those, a small fraction are known in Mint State. Both sides are evenly struck and well-centered with crisp dentilation. The stars are raised, and the neck, wing, and tailfeathers are sharp as can be. Yellow-gold surfaces display wispy marks in line with the grade. Housed in an old green label holder.
