1806 Capped Bust Right Half Eagle. BD-4. Rarity-5+. Pointed-Top 6, Stars 8x5. EF-40 (PCGS). OGH.Handsome medium gold patina with subtle pale rose peripheral highlights, this is a charming EF example of a scarce die marriage in the early half eagle series. Boldly defined over most features, the surfaces also retain appreciable satin luster that is liveliest when viewed with the aid of direct lighting. BD-4 is an elusive variety of the 1806-dated half eagle issue, John W. Dannreuther (2006) accounting for just 30 to 35 survivors in all grades. The old style PCGS insert uses coin #8089, which is now reserved for the Round-Top 6, Stars 7x6 <em>Guide Book</em> variety of the 1806 half eagle.
