A 1799 BD-3 $5 Half Eagle was auctioned as lot 729 of the Bass II Sale. Another 1799 BD-3 $5 Half Eagle was auctioned as lot 297 of the Bass IV Sale. If anyone has an image of the reverse of this die marriage, I would greatly appreciate it if they would post it. Thanks in advance... David

Images on the Harry Bass Foundation website are copy protected. I need an image that I can save to my computer so the image has to be posted here.

Mingot:

The coin you attached is not 1799 BD-3 (Obverse 2 / Reverse A), but 1799 BD-1 (Obverse 1 / Reverse 1798-G).

You added the image from below the text in the catalog. Add the image from above the text please.

Mingot:

Thanks. I figured out what you did. Unfortunately, the quality of the image of the coin from the 1999 catalog is horrible. I was hoping for a modern day hi res image of the coin. Oh well...

B-3D is Breen die marriage 3D. It is not the same as BD-3. BD-3 is Bass Dannreuther die marriage 3. They are two completely different coins.

Have you checked PCGS CoinFacts? There are four color photographs of the Small Stars reverse in their photo archives. One of them could be a BD-3.
