BP - Buyer's Premium

A "Buyer's Premium" is charged in addition to the successful bid according to the rate defined in our terms and conditions.

Opening Bid

The opening bid is the minimum amount required to begin bidding, and is generally a percentage of the low estimate.

Bid Information

For your convenience, the bid information on this page automatically refreshes with the most up to date data so you don't have to refresh/reload this page.

Minimum Bid

Bid increments determine the lowest amount you may bid on a particular lot. Normally, bids must be at least one bidding increment over the current bid. However, podium, fax, phone and mail bidders submit bids at various times without knowing the current bid and must be on-increment or at a half increment (called a cut bid). Any podium, fax, phone, or mail bids that do not conform to a full or half increment will be rounded up or down to the nearest full or half increment. However, for Internet bids, these increments only apply to the current bid. Internet bids greater than one increment over the current bid can be any whole dollar amount. It is possible under several circumstances for winning bids to be between increments, sometimes only $1 above the previous increment.

Number of Bidders

This number represents the number of individual bidders prior to the close of Internet bidding on each lot. An individual who bids more than once is still counted only once. During the live session, only the winning bidder is included in this number, although detailed records are kept of all forms of bids.

Status

Reserve (If Any) Not Posted Yet:
Although many lots will not get reserves, this signifies that we have not yet posted any reserves to this entire auction. Reserves are usually posted approximately 3 days prior to the closing for Internet-only auctions, and approximately 7 days prior to the live session for Signature auctions.
Consignor Has Not Yet Submitted a Reserve:
Although the consignor's agreement allows a reserve on this lot, the deadline for submitting such a reserve has elapsed. If consignor submits a reserve post-deadline and the item fails to meet that reserve, we may charge the consignor a higher reserve fee.
No Reserve:
This lot is being sold without a reserve. (Note: By law, consignors may still bid under certain conditions, but they are responsible for paying the full Buyer's Premium and Seller's Commission if they do.)
Reserve Not Met:
A reserve has been posted on this lot, but no bids have met the reserve. The current bid has been set to the reserve amount, and the next bid will meet the reserve.
Reserve Met:
Reserves have been posted for this auction, and there is a reserve on this lot that has already been met.

Description
Beautiful Gem 1810 Half Eagle
Large Date, Large 5, BD-4


1810 $5 Large Date, Large 5 MS65 NGC. Breen-6459, BD-4, R.2. Many advanced numismatists have tackled the Capped Bust Left half eagle type, which was struck between 1807 and 1812. The series is collectible by date, unlike other early gold series that possess such costly stoppers as the 1796, 1797, 1815, 1822, and 1829. True, certain varieties, such as the 1810 Small Date, Small 5 and Large Date, Small 5 are extremely rare, but date collectors can choose the 1810 Small Date, Tall 5 or the 1810 Large Date, Large 5 as an affordable alternative.
But date and type collectors still find the Capped Bust Left type to be a challenge. Over its entire six-year run, fewer than 400,000 pieces were struck, and most of the production was exported overseas and promptly melted to recover its bullion. Among those set aside, many were subjected to jewelry use, or were cleaned or otherwise mishandled by uninformed collectors. Compared to post-1834 half eagle types, few exist clean surfaces and unbroken cartwheel luster. Most Mint State 1810 half eagles lack highpoint friction, but the open fields are more subdued than the devices and borders.
Its unabashed and original luster sets the present Gem apart from the typical Uncirculated Capped Bust Left half eagle. As one would expect from the MS65 level, marks are minimal, and are limited to a few delicate field grazes. The strike is good, with only slight softness present on the hair above the ear, and on the left (facing) wing near the shield. The type or date collector who has waited patiently to acquire a full-fledged Gem should take advantage of the present opportunity.
