1810 O.102. Gem Brilliant Uncirculated. Richly toned with golden-russet to the center of the obverse,...1810 O.102. Gem Brilliant Uncirculated. Richly toned with golden-russet to the center of the obverse, which darkens to crimson and finally teal blue near the edge, well matched on the reverse. Blazing lustre beneath the toning and exceptional eye appeal for an early Capped Bust Half Dollar. This die pairing is generally weak on the left wing of the eagle, as seen here, but the stars and curls on Liberty are sharp. The surfaces are outstanding, with nary a tick or nick to be found. For identification, there are three tiny disturbances in the field inside the third star, and a trivial planchet streak extends through the back of Liberty's ear. This is an early die state although the obverse die has a thin crack left of the date along the denticles. On the reverse, the 'T' of UNITED is broadly repunched with the top portion present below the right upper serif. This coin is likely the Finest Known of the variety followed closely by the later die state coin sold in our Queller Sale in 2002.
