Frosty 1810 BD-4 Half Eagle, MS62

1810 $5 Large Date, Large 5 MS62 NGC. CAC. BD-4, R.2. The 1810 Large Date, Large 5 half eagle qualifies as one of the three or four most plentiful varieties of all early half eagles. Others of similar availability are the 1807 Capped Bust (facing left) and the 1809/8 overdate. Both dies were of excellent quality, and when they were paired together, the Mint was able to coin nearly 90,000 pieces before they were retired. Even the latest strikes exhibit little die damage on either side. A single fine die crack eventually formed between the 8 and 1 to the drapery clasp. The reverse only had minor clash marks. This piece has lovely green-gold surfaces with brilliant and frosty luster. A few scattered surface marks are noted on each side, limiting the grade. It is a highly appealing piece for the date or type collector.(Registry values: P2)
