Capped Bust Left Half Eagle
1810 Capped Bust Left Half Eagle. BD-4. Rarity-2. Large Date, Large 5. VF-30 (PCGS).
A pleasing olive-gold example with hints of orange patina in the protected areas. Well centered with even wear and strong eye appeal. Overall smooth with jus t a couple insignificant marks in the left reverse field noted under scrutiny. The BD-4 attribution corresponds to the Large Date, Large 5 Guide Book variety of the 1810 half eagle. This is the most readily obtainable of the four known die marriages of the date and, given that it is also a plentiful variety by Capped Bust Left five-dollar gold standards, this and problem free VF holds particular appeal for type purposes.
PCGS# 8108. NGC ID: BFXP.
From the Naples Bay Collection.
Estimate: $4000
