1795 $5 LARGE EAGLE AU53 PCGS CAC

The 1795 $5 Draped Bust Half Eagle with a Large Eagle reverse is one of the most sought after gold rarities to the entire Numismatic industry. With a PCGS Price Guide value of $135,000, mintage 500  and with only about 55 estimated today in all grades, Paradime Coins is proud to acquire this uber rarity. This particular example, from the BD-14 die variety A R.6+, is expertly centered, showing softer details on the central high points while the rest of the design remains bold and well-defined. The BD-14 variety is one of only three known die marriages for the 1795 Heraldic Eagle issue, sharing its reverse die with the unique BD-13 specimen. With fewer than 20 examples believed to exist for the BD-14, we see a beautiful die crack on the obverse at 6 and an exquisite die-cud on the reverse. 1795 $5 Large Eagle for the better part of the century was known as the rarity, but because they were so rare and seldom offered in the 19th century, 1795 $5 Small Eagle of which is about 10 times more common with approximately 550 known in all grades, have dominated most collectors demand. The historical significance of the 1795 Heraldic Eagle series, combined with this coin's superb condition and rarity, makes it a true highlight for any collection for the first year of the Large Eagle design.
