1805 Capped Bust Right Half Eagle. BD-1. Rarity-3+. AU-55 (PCGS).；Bright olive-khaki surfaces reveal considerable luster among the crisply impressed design elements. An interesting strikethrough (as struck) is noted from star two to Libertys lower curls, but no other marks bear individual notice. One of two die pairings of the date that employed the Perfect 1, Close Date obverse die, a mere 175-225 examples are known today in all grades. At Choice AU, as here, the date and variety combination presents a challenge to collectors seeking a pleasing specimen. A lovely example for an advanced type set as well, this is a very attractive coin all around and is sure to garner a premium bid.
