1810 Capped Bust Left Half Eagle. BD-4. Rarity-2. Large Date, Large 5. MS-61 (NGC).

1810 Capped Bust Left Half Eagle. BD-4. Rarity-2. Large Date, Large 5. MS-61 (NGC).，A warmly patinated and boldly struck example that holds particular appeal for Mint State type purposes. Most design elements exhibit razor sharp to full definition, in fact, with the tresses of Libertys hair and the eagles plumage especially noteworthy in this regard. Satiny in texture with vivid reddish-gold patina, this is an uncommonly smooth coin for the assigned grade that is worthy of a solid bid. The Large Date, Large 5 <em>Guide Book</em> variety of the 1810 half eagle corresponds to the BD-4 attribution, making this an easily identifiable variety. It is also the most plentiful of the four known die marriages of the issue and, with more than 500 coins extant in all grades, the 1810 BD-4 is one of the most popular type candidates in the Capped Bust Left half eagle series of 1807 to 1812. The example offered here would do nicely in any Mint State set.，From the Marc Kravit Collection.，
