로트 설명

This handsome, boldly colored example exhibits vivid rose overtones to generally olive and honey-orange surfaces. Sharply defined in all but a few isolated areas, an overall smooth appearance is also a praiseworthy attribute for this desirable early half eagle. Wispy hairlines and a somewhat subdued appearance are noted for accuracy. BD Die State c/c.<p>BD-7 represents the final use of this readily identifiable obverse die, which is a dramatically repunched date. It is the most available die marriage of the 1804 half eagle, although with only 100 to 150 coins believed extant in all grades BD-7 is scarce in an absolute sense. Most survivors are in grades of AU-50 or lower, making this pleasing PCGS AU-53 example a significant coin fit for an advanced gold cabinet.
