1810. Overton-103, Rarity 2. PCGS graded AU-50. Well struck with dark antique toning. Average hair detail at center, but much better struck on the eagle. Attractive color and originality. The estimated mintage of 1,276,276 half dollars this year was completed using nine obverse dies and ten reverses. This combination of nineteen obverse and reverse dies produced ten separated varieties or marriages for 1810. Although the 1810 half dollars contain no varieties with rarity above scarce, no overdates or other popular varieties, this date is still diligently searched by collectors for well preserved, strongly struck specimens which are the exception and not the rule. As in 1809, weakly struck coins prevail.
Pop 1; 4 finer for the variety, 2 in 53, 1 in 55, 1 in 64. (PCGS # 39408) .
Estimated Value $400 - 440.
