Lot 2261
1810 $5 Capped Draped Bust. Large date, large 5. . Breen-1A. PCGS graded MS-62. A hint of light golden toning. Shimmering luster that glitters and swims in almost a "cartwheel" fashion. A solidly graded example, this coin displays average striking definition for the year. This is not to say that the strike is incomplete, since all hair strands on Liberty are full, but some of the feathers in the eagle's neck and wing are flat due to insufficient die pressure. A very choice, appealing example of the Type. Pop 27; 103 finer. (PCGS # 8108) .
Four varieties are recorded in the Guide Book of United States Coins for this coinage date. This variety, with Large Date obverse and Large 5 in the denomination on the reverse, is clearly the most plentiful of all four varieties and ranks as one of the most affordable of all varieties of this capped bust left design.
Estimated Value $11,000 - 12,000.
