1810 Half Eagle, Frosty MS63
CAC-Approved BD-4 Type Coin

1810 $5 Large Date, Large 5, BD-4, R.2, MS63 PCGS Secure. CAC. Bass-Dannreuther Die State a/a. The Large Date, Large 5 die pairing is not particularly rare in the absolute sense, but it is scarce in well-preserved Mint State. This is the appeal of the present coin. It is remarkably frosty and lustrous with undeniably original surfaces. Wisps of peach-orange color ornately accent the luminous yellow-gold surfaces, and there is a surprising lack of any distracting abrasions. The coin is evenly struck and well-centered, but the strike lacks completeness around Liberty's ear and on the eagle's neck and left (facing) wing and talons. There are a few stray lines on the obverse that determine the grade, but the overall quality of this coin is remarkable, even for a plentiful variety. Population (BD-4): 55 in 63 (3 in 63+), 38 finer. CAC: 9 in 63, 5 finer (3/17).
