Description click for larger image1952: 1813 $5 MS64 PCGS. 1813 $5 MS64 PCGS. BD-1, R.2. Two die varieties of 1813 half eagles are known, from a single obverse die. The position of the first S in STATES relative to the E in the motto will identify the two varieties. BD-1 has the left serif of the S over the crossbar of the E, while BD-2 has the left serif of the S over the upright of the E. BD-1 is considerable more plentiful with 450 to 650 examples known, according to John Dannreuther. Only about 150 to 200 examples of BD-2 are known. Few Gem examples exist today, and Choice Mint State pieces are about the finest that one can reasonably expect to obtain. While no updated Census of these pieces exists, we believe that only about five or six coins exceed this piece for quality. This date is the first of John Reich's Capped Head design, a modification of his earlier Capped Bust design. The reverse is virtually unchanged. Most dates of this type, that continued through 1829, are major rarities. Only 1813, 1818, and 1820 are plentiful, followed by the 1814/3 overdate and 1823 at the next level. All other dates are important numismatic rarities. The type includes several major rarities, including 1815, 1819, 1821, 1822, 1825/4, 1828, and 1829. Only about 80 to 100 examples are known of all seven dates combined. The present specimen is fully brilliant with frosty yellow luster with a few scattered marks and tiny orange spots that are primarily evident only with a magnifier. The obverse shows faint evidence of die lapping, and the reverse shows weak clash marks. Population: 54 in 64, 3 finer (6/08).From The Aspen Collection.Coin Engraver: John ReichShipping: Coins & Currency (view shipping information)Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium with a $9 minimum Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. This lot is being auctioned in conjunction with a live floor auction by Heritage Auctions. All final auction and invoice information will be supplied by Heritage Auctions, and all other information should be considered preliminary.
