Mintage: 8,707 (175-200 known of BD-3 Variety)
PCGS POP: 32/51
Variety BD-3
This offering of a BD-3, with an estimated 175 to 200 coins known, according to Bass-Dannreuther, is indeed a rare variety. This coin is a solid and quite attractive MS61 specimen, destined for a fine collection. Overall, PCGS has recorded 32 pieces of the 1795 $5 as MS61 with 51 finer. However, resubmissions are likely to have inflated the number of coins at the high-end of the population due to the significant financial benefit of obtaining an upgrade on a Mint State piece.
This dramatic piece features attractive yellow-gold and green-gold surfaces that have developed wonderful, original toning. There is some weakness in the strike, as well as some light abrasions on both sides, which are consistent with the grade. This coin's status as the first year of production for the half eagle—ensures strong collector demand.
What makes this coin a numismatic investment with excellent growth potential is the fact that it is a mint state example of an historic issue with a stunning iconic design, one that will always be desired by collectors.
