The new Bass-Dannreuther reference mentions a "crack from the last A of AMERICA through denomination," but this may refer to the bold clash mark from the upper outline of the cap.

The Capped Bust Left type was struck for six years, and is collectible by date by the patient collector. 1808 half eagles can also be collected by die variety, although the BD-1 appears infrequently at auction.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
