Select 1810 Capped Bust Half Eagle
Popular Large Date, Large 5, BD-4 Type Coin

1810 $5 Large Date, Large 5 MS63 PCGS. Breen-6459, BD-4, R.2. A huge mintage of 100,287 half eagles was produced in 1810, with four varieties known for the date. The present coin is a representative of the BD-4 variety, easily identified by the large numerals in the date and the large 5 in the denomination. The BD-4 variety probably accounts for 75,000-90,000 of the half eagles minted in 1810, as it is by far the most available variety. Experts estimate the surviving population totals 500-750 pieces in all grades. Its availability in high grade makes the date extremely popular with type collectors. In absolute terms, this issue is scarce in Select condition.
The present coin is sharply struck, with fine detail present on all devices, apart from a few incomplete star radials. Frosty mint luster and light orange-gold color, with subtle hints of rose, enhance the considerable eye appeal of this Select specimen. The surfaces are lightly abraded, with no significant distractions. Population: 34 in 63, 36 finer (3/10).(Registry values: P2)
