AU Details 1804 Half Eagle. 1804 Gold $5. BD-2. Rarity-4+. Normal or Small 8. Genuine - Cleaned - AU-58 Details ANACS. The unnaturally lustrous obverse is bright lemon-yellow and apparently thumbed or otherwise harshly rubbed at the center and throughout the bust design – a shame really, as the reverse is deep orange-gold throughout with no ready traces of cleaning or chemical treatments. From the earliest state of the obverse die, and no doubt its first reuse after coining Obverse State of BD-1 for the date. There is only a modest crack from the rim upward through the 0 in the date and then into Liberty’s tresses and terminating near her ear. Later in its life this die bisects and a crack downward from the rim crosses the L at the top of the obverse and then into Liberty’s tresses. This later downward crack may be just an extension of the crack at the cipher in the date continuing its upward course.
