Lot 1762
1807. Bust Right BD-1 Rarity 4+ NGC graded Unc Details. Improperly cleaned. Mostly well struck with full hair detail. Bright and lustrous with some light hairline scratches in the right obverse field. Lovely golden overtones add to its appeal.
As this is the only reverse with small stars used this year, it was likely a leftover one from 1806. The large letters on the reverse are further proof that the reverse die was produced in the previous year. Although BD-1's reverse likely cracked and failed, it was a productive die, as Dannreuther's estimate of 5,000 struck by the die marriage indicates (PCGS # 8092) .
Estimated Value $5,000-UP.
Ex: Purchased from Jerry Cohen in the early 1980's as "choice BU" The Del Valle Collection.
