<B>1812 $5 MS63 NGC.</B></I> Breen-6466, BD-1, R.3. There are two varieties of the 1812 half eagle, both of which have the same obverse. The BD-1 has the reverse feather tip positioned over the right edge of the flag of the 5, and a very widely spaced 5 D, the D wholly under the branch (BD-2, the close 5 D has the D mostly under the feather).<BR> Greenish-gold patina adorns both sides of this Select example that exhibits sharply struck devices. The borders and interstices of the design elements offer the most effusive luster. A few minor handling marks are not out of context with the grade designation. Quite an attractive piece overall.<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> John Reich<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
