Lot Description

1810 Capped Bust Left Half Eagle. BD-4. Rarity-2. Large Date, Large 5. EF-40 (NGC). An aesthetically pleasing, overall boldly defined example of this scarce and challenging early half eagle type. Even deep gold patina with tinges of original satin luster evident in the protected areas around the devices. The surfaces are uncommonly smooth for a pre-1834 U.S. gold coin that saw appreciable commercial use. As one of the more frequently encountered die marriages in the Capped Bust Left five dollar series, the 1810 BD-4 is a popular type candidate in all grades. Provenance: From the Marc Kravit Collection. PCGS# 8108. NGC ID: BFXP. Click here for certification details from NGC.
