1812 Capped Bust Left Half Eagle. BD-1. Rarity-3. Wide 5 D. AU Details--Cleaning (PCGS).，Vivid rose and lilac-blue peripheral highlights frame otherwise medium gold surfaces, both sides retoning nicely and providing relatively strong eye appeal for the assigned grade. Overall sharp definition is also a praiseworthy attribute for this more affordable AU type candidate from the final year of the Capped Bust Left half eagle series. Bass-Dannreuther 1 with the Wide 5 D reverse is the more readily obtainable of the two known die marriages of this date.，PCGS# 8112. NGC ID: 25PL.，，From the Alexander Collection. Earlier ex B. Max Mehls sale of the William Cutler Atwater Collection, June 1946, lot 1631; Hollinbeck Stamp & Coin Co., December 1947. Collector envelope with provenance notes included.
