1810 $5 Large Date, Large 5 MS63+ 认证号24765716, PCGS号8108

CAC. Purchased as MS63/CAC. State c/b. Die clashing is seen most notably at the top of the obverse above the cap. This common early gold type coin has an estimated survival of 500 to 750 pieces, out of an a total of 75,000 to 90,000 originally minted. Of course, the vast majority of those produced were melted from the date of issue through 1834, at which time gold coins became worth less than their intrinsic value. This is a lovely orange-gold example whose color is only interrupted by a spot of copper (from improper mixture of the gold/copper alloy in that area) over the eagle's eye. The devices are sharply struck throughout, and there are no obvious or detracting abrasions. (Upgrade from MS63) EX: Oliver Collection PCGS 1/35 (05/15)

This coin has often been erroneously described as having a "Tall 5", the same appellation that is given to the 1810 Small Date, Tall 5 or 1811 Tall 5. Actually the 5 is very different in shape from the "Tall 5" since it is shorter and fatter. In that regard, it is unique among coins of this type since no other Half Eagle from 1807 to 1812 has a 5 of the same style. As far as rarity is concerned, this is one of the more common coins of this type, similar in overall availability to the 1807, 1809/8, and 1812. Uncirculated examples, even choice ones, are relatively available.
