Lovely Choice Uncirculated 1812 Half Eagle 1812 Capped Bust Left Half Eagle. BD-1. Rarity-3. Wide 5 D. MS-63 (PCGS). A handsome and inviting coin that holds tremendous appeal for high grade type and variety purposes alike. Sharply defined from a well centered strike, both sides also exhibit full mint luster in a softly frosted texture. Bathed in warm medium gold patina, both the technical quality and eye appeal are suggestive of a higher Choice Mint State rating. Concentrations of light adjustment marks on Liberty's cheek and bust are as made, and they are also relatively common features on early United States Mint gold and silver coins. The BD-1 Wide 5 D is the more plentiful of the two known varieties of the 1812 half eagle, John W. Dannreuther's (2006) estimate on the number of survivors in the range of 300 to 450 coins. This is a solidly graded and attractive survivor that is sure to please the discerning gold enthusiast. BD Die State a/a. PCGS# 8112. NGC ID: 25PL. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
