- Desirable Mint State 1804 Half Eagle Small 8/Large 8 1804 Capped Bust Right Half Eagle. BD-6. Rarity-5. Small/Large 8. MS-61 (PCGS). A highly lustrous, aesthetically pleasing example of the type, issue and die pairing. Sharply struck with crisp definition to most design elements, both sides also sport lively mint luster. The texture is a predominantly satiny with subtle frosty tendencies and, in the fields, faint traces of semi-reflectivity. Blended olive and golden-apricot colors speak volumes about the coin's originality. Uncommonly smooth for the assigned grade, and sure to please even the most discerning numismatist. BD Die State a/b. BD-6 represents the penultimate use of this readily identifiable obverse die, which is a dramatically repunched date. It is a scarcer die marriage of the 1804 half eagle, John w. Dannreuther (2006) accounting for only 35 to 45 survivors from an estimated mintage of 2,000 to 3,000 coins from these dies. Most survivors show evidence of active commercial use, making this superior Mint State example a truly significant opportunity fit for an advanced gold cabinet. Provenance: From the Andrew M. Hain Collection. Collector envelope with attribution notation included. PCGS# 8086. NGC ID: BFXB. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
