Losbeschreibung

1809/8 Capped Bust Left Half Eagle. BD-1, the only known dies. Rarity-3+. AU-53 (NGC). Attractive lilac accents on the obverse and reverse from long storage. The strike is sharp on Liberty's curls and the eagle's feathers, and the appearance is pleasing to the eye. Traces of adjustments are seen on the obverse rim, but they are virtually invisible. Scrutiny of the surfaces finds a few shallow nicks and cuts as expected. A fine representative of this date and type for the collector. PCGS# 8104.
