Description

Scarce 1810 Small Date, Tall 5
Half Eagle, BD-1, MS61

1810 $5 Small Date, Tall 5 MS61 PCGS. Breen-6462, BD-1, High R.3. The first 1 is nearly centered over a dentil, while on the reverse the extremely large 5 in the denomination occupies virtually all of the space between the dentils and the fletchings. The light green-gold color has accents of yellow, mostly around the devices. This fully lustrous example displays lightly abraded surfaces consistent with the grade, but the abrasions are unseen except with a loupe. The strike is sharp throughout. This pleasing piece represents a scarce variety, far more elusive than the usually seen Large Date half eagles of 1810. A nice type coin or date-set representative. Population: 7 in 61, 33 finer (3/10).(Registry values: P3)
