1810 Capped Bust Left Half Eagle. BD-4. Rarity-2. Large Date, Large 5. MS-61 (PCGS).，Lovely medium gold surfaces possess full mint bloom in a satiny texture. Sharply defined apart from a touch of softness to the high points of the eagle, wispy handling marks are all that preclude a higher grade for this desirable Mint State type candidate. The Large Date, Large 5 <em>Guide Book</em> variety of the 1810 half eagle corresponds to the BD-4 attribution, making this an easily identifiable variety. It is also the most plentiful of the four known die marriages of the issue and, with more than 500 coins extant in all grades, the 1810 BD-4 is one of the most popular type candidates in the Capped Head Left half eagle series of 1807 to 1812. The example offered here would do nicely in any Mint State set.，PCGS# 8108. NGC ID: 25PG.，，From the Alexander Collection. Acquired from Joseph Barnet, date not recorded. Dealer envelope with collector notes included.
