The 1804 BD-2 variety is the only die pair with 14 stars on the reverse. The other variety (BD-1) has 13 stars on the reverse. Of the two varieties, the BD-2 is the more common, though it is difficult to call any coin "common" that has such a tiny mintage as has this date. Fortunately, several presentable examples of this variety were set aside, including a pair that has earned the grade of MS63 at PCGS. One of this pair is in the High Desert Collection; the other was formerly in the D. Brent Pogue Collection. The remainder of the PCGS CoinFacts Condition Census of the ten finest examples are mostly MS62's, with one or two MS61's at the bottom end.
Every high grade BD-2 that we have seen has adjustment marks to some degree. The notable exception to that rule is the afore-mentioned Pogue coin. In general, the central details on this variety are well-struck, but the peripheral details are often weak.
The reverse of this variety was also used earlier on the 1804 JR-2 Dime variety!

In Doug Winter's blog post dated 5/22/2015, he commented on this coin:
“The more common 1804 14 Star Reverse was graded MS63 and it was offered as Lot 1122. I wasn’t in love with this coin as an MS63 as it was a bit “busy” in the right obverse field but it did have pleasing color and a good degree of originality. This exact coin had sold for $97,750 in a 7/2004 auction and it realized $164,500 nearly a decade later.”
