BD-6 Variety
1806 Capped Bust Right Half Eagle. BD-6. Rarity-2. Round-Top 6, Stars 7x6. MS-63 (PCGS).
A wonderful example of this desirable issue, the obverse fields are lightly reflective and contrast the richly frosted portrait of Liberty at center. Vibrant honey-gold hues dominate the complexion, accented by areas of amber and crimson select regions. The surfaces are impressively smooth and free from distractions of any sort, blanketed in satiny luster throughout. Traces of planchet adjustment and die polish are apparent in the peripheries of each side, contributing to the undeniable character of this gorgeous example.
This variety is the first in the half eagle series with the obverse stars arranged 7x6 as opposed to 8x5, suggesting that it was the final die marriage produced for the 1806-dated issue. Bass-Dannreuther 6 is the most readily obtainable variety of the entire Capped Bust Right design, and survivors have long been popular with gold type collectors, as such.
PCGS# 8089. NGC ID: 25P5.
