Description

Uncirculated 1810 Capped Bust Five
Large Date, Large 5, BD-4

1810 $5 Large Date, Large 5 MS61 NGC. Breen-6459, BD-4, R.2. Bass-Dannreuther a/a, the dies are perfect except for a raised area near star 4 caused by an obverse die depression of unknown origin. The 1810 comes with three different date logotypes and three different logotypes for the 5 in the denomination. Although BD-1 and BD-2 are both considered Small Date varieties, the 0 punch is clearly larger on BD-2 than on BD-1. The present Large Date example is yellow-gold with pleasantly smooth surfaces. The strike is exacting save for incompleteness on the claws. Luster illuminates the devices and legends. A desirable early half eagle that will fulfill a difficult obligation within an advanced gold type set.
