<B>1809/8<$5>--Cleaned--ANACS. MS60 Details.</B></I> Breen-6458, BD-1, High R.3. Only a single die pair is known for 1809 half eagles. Examples show recutting within the lower loop of the 9, suggestive of an underdigit 8. Careful rotation beneath a light and loupe finds fine hairlines, which are most apparent on the reverse field. Otherwise, this is a charming example that boasts a decisive strike and lacks obvious abrasions. Adjustment marks are limited to the obverse dentils.<BR><I>From The Antigo Collection, Part Two.</B></I>
