<B>1803/2 $5 MS62 NGC.</B></I> Breen-6441, BD-4, R.4. There are four die marriages of 1803/2 half eagles, but BD-4 is immediately identified by the presence of a right foot on the T in LIBERTY. The left foot on the Y is defective, but this cannot be used as a diagnostic, since the other obverse die (for BD-1 through BD-3) shows this same characteristic. This yellow-gold example is well struck aside from the left border of the shield. The reverse is fully lustrous, and the fields show only minor contact. A solitary faint vertical mark on the cheek can only be seen beneath a loupe. A desirable example of this elusive Heraldic Eagle date. Census: 45 in 62, 54 finer (10/06).<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
