<B>1810 $5 Large Date, Large 5 MS62 NGC.</B></I> Breen-6459, BD-4, R.2. Four different die marriages were struck dated 1810. These include all combinations of Large and Small Date, and Large and Small 5. The two Small 5 varieties are formidable rarities. Fortunately for date collectors, the two Large 5 varieties are comparatively available, although all pre-1834 gold coins are rare. The reported mintage of 100,000 pieces is nearly meaningless, since nearly all of this mintage was exported overseas as bullion, then melted. The present sharply struck example escaped this fate, and displays ample satin luster. There are no noticeable marks, and a small spot on the inner points of star 10 provides a pedigree reference.<BR><I>From The Jones Beach Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
