- BD Die State d/a. This smartly impressed, sharply defined example also possesses bold frosty luster on both sides. Attractive in color, we note subtle pale pink highlights on dominant medium golden-wheat. Appearing minimally marked for the assigned grade during in-hand viewing, this is an exceptionally nice early half eagle at the certified MS-61 level.<p>The two known die marriages of 1811 half eagle are of roughly equal scarcity, with a slight edge in availability going to BD-2. The varieties are easily distinguished by looking at the size of the digit 5 in the denomination; the obverse die is shared between the marriages. A nicely produced and visually appealing piece, the coin offered here would fit comfortably into a Mint State type set or specialized early half eagle collection.
