1795 Small Eagle. BD-8. Rarity-5+. AU-55 PCGS.
Here is a brightly lustrous yellow gold specimen with trace olive iridescence throughout. The reverse is somewhat prooflike. A few scattered marks are available to the unaided eye, and a few more become apparent under a glass, but the in-hand appeal is substantial enough for just about any collector’s likings. A popular and plentiful issue as a date, but the varieties within a date are sometimes quite elusive, including the present Rarity-5+ variety; it is though just 30 to 40 examples of BD-8 are known in all grades. The 1795 half eagle with Small Eagle reverse type was the first gold denomination struck at the Philadelphia Mint. A great place to start an early half eagle collection – right at the beginning.
