1805 Capped Bust Right Half Eagle. BD-2. Rarity-4. Perfect 1, Close

Stellar-Quality 1805 Half Eagle One of Only Three Gold CAC Examples 1805 Capped Bust Right Half Eagle. BD-2. Rarity-4. Perfect 1, Close Date. EF-40 (PCGS). Gold CAC. CMQ. OGH. BD Die State g/d. Warmly toned in deep honey-gold and mauve, this is a very attractive lightly circulated early half eagle. The strike is well centered with complete denticulation around both sides. Overall detail is suitably bold for this early U.S. Mint design type; Liberty's portrait and much of the eagle's plumage are sharp and most other design elements bold. Softness is confined to the obverse stars, most of which are blunt and lack radial lines, as well as at the eagle's right wing where it meets the shield. Softly frosted with an overall smooth appearance that are enhanced by appreciable remaining luster. This scarce variety has an estimated population of 100 to 150 survivors in all grades (per John W. Dannreuther, 2006). The obverse die was previously used in the 1805 BD-1 pairing, although it shattered in the 1805 BD-2 marriage, the most advanced cracks of which are evident on the present example. The reverse die, however, proved especially hardy and went on to strike the remaining three varieties of the 1805-dated half eagle issue, as well as 1806 BD-1. Although scarce in an absolute sense, as are all early gold coin varieties, 1805 BD-2 is among the more readily obtainable in the Capped Bust Right half eagle series. The present example will be particularly appealing for advanced collectors given its Generation 3.0 PCGS holder and exceedingly rare Gold CAC approval. Provenance: From the Emerald Coast Collection. Gold CAC Stickered Population (all die marriage of the issue): 3 in all grades. PCGS# 8088. NGC ID: 25P4. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
