Popular 1810 Capped Bust Half Eagle, AU53
Large Date, Large 5, BD-4

1810 $5 Large Date, Large 5 AU53 PCGS. Breen-6459, BD-4, R.2. Four varieties are known for the 1810 half eagle. The large estimated mintage of 75,000-90,000 pieces ensured the survival of the BD-4 variety in large numbers. Numismatists noted the distinction between Large Date and Small Date varieties at least as far back as 1890, when both types appeared in the Parmelee Collection (New York Coin & Stamp Company, 6/1890), lots 868 and 869. The present coin is a desirable example, with a sharp strike and minimal wear on the eagle's leg and shield.(Registry values: P2)
