- Desirable 1795 Small Eagle Half Eagle Scarce BD-9 Die Pairing 1795 Capped Bust Right Half Eagle. Small Eagle. BD-9. Rarity-5+. Fine-15 (PCGS). This is a handsome coin for the assigned grade, with both sides exhibiting glints of pale rose peripheral toning on otherwise olive-gold surfaces. The strike is well centered on both sides, with all devices fully outlined and clear. Some sharper detail remains in the recessed areas in Liberty's hair and the eagle's plumage. Wispy hairlines are noted, as are a few dull marks in the upper obverse field. The first gold issue produced in the fledgling United States Mint, the 1795 Small Eagle five-dollar gold piece enjoys strong collector demand at all levels of preservation. This more affordable example will hold particular appeal for budget minded type collectors. We note that all Capped Bust Right half eagles are scarce to rare regardless of date, variety or grade. BD-9, represented here, is one of the more elusive die pairings of the issue, with John W. Dannreuther (2006) accounting for only 35 to 45 survivors in all grades. PCGS# 8066. NGC ID: 25ND.
