1812 $5 MS (PCGS#8112)

The March 2012 Baltimore Auction

详细说明: 1812 Capped Bust Left Half Eagle. BD-1. Rarity-3. Wide 5 D. AU-58 (NGC). Lustrous in the protected areas and struck in bright yellow-gold. The surfaces are average with scattered light circulation marks that blend into the surfaces well. No rim bumps or adjustment marks, and attractive for this important type or date style. The reverse die shows evidence of some abrupt injury with a raised arc through the horizontal shield lines into the left wing of the eagle. It appears the engraver may have lapped this area as the feather detail is weak, furthermore there is an unusual void on the obverse on Liberty's cheek into the left field that is probably related to this die injury event as it is opposite the arc on the reverse. Other similar events are known in various denominations.
