- Handsome 1805 BD-1 Half Eagle 1805 Capped Bust Right Half Eagle. BD-1. Rarity-3+. Perfect 1, Close Date. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC. A warm, even blend of deep olive and reddish-orange blankets both sides and delivers outstanding eye appeal. The luster is nearly full in a thick satin texture and, were it not for faint hairlines and a touch of associated friction, this would be a Mint State coin. In the absence of sizable marks, in fact, we do not believe that this piece ever saw actual commercial use, just light handling on the part of earlier generations of numismatists. As nice as one is likely to find in a Choice AU Capped Bust Right half eagle of any date, with a generally sharp strike providing further appeal. Light adjustment marks (as made) at cloud 7 on the reverse explain the minor softness of detail to that design element, as well as the tip of Liberty's bust positioned opposite on the obverse. BD Die State a/a. Provenance: From the Andrew M. Hain Collection. PCGS# 8088. NGC ID: 25P4. Click here for certification details from PCGS. Click here to see Coins in Motion.[“Coins]
