August 2016 ANA U.S. Coins Auction Anaheim, CA

详细说明: Mint State 1798 BD-4 Half Eagle 1798 Capped Bust Right Half Eagle. Heraldic Eagle. BD-6. Rarity-6. Small (a.k.a. Normal) 8. MS-61 (PCGS). A phenomenal condition rarity for the type, variety and die marriage. Warm olive undertones give way to brighter medium gold as the surfaces dip into a light. The strike is well centered and bold in most areas, although a concentration of prominent adjustment marks (as made) in the center of the obverse has resulted in lack of detail both there and on the reverse over the eagle's head, breast and the top of the shield. Satiny in texture and quite smooth relative to the assigned grade, closer examination reveals even more vibrant semi-reflective characteristics in the fields. BD Die State a/b. PCGS Population (Small 8 Guide Book variety in its entirety): 1 in all Mint State grades. PCGS# 8079. NGC ID: 25NP.
