Identify Coin & Variety

• Denomination & type: 1810 50¢ Capped Bust Half Dollar, Lettered Edge (“FIFTY CENTS OR HALF A DOLLAR”).
• Mintmark: None (Philadelphia issue).
• Diagnostics from closeups:
  • Date position: The “1810” shows the “1” close to curl, with wide spacing between “1” and “8.” The “8” is slightly high relative to “1.”
  • Stars: The left-side stars appear somewhat irregularly spaced; the right-side stars (7–13) nearly touch denticles in some positions.
  • Alignment check (last image): Coin shows proper “coin turn” (when flipped vertically, reverse is upright) — correct for this series.
  • From the Overton guide, these diagnostics most closely match O-109/O-109a (Wide 0 in date, star positions consistent). Attribution is not 100% certain from images alone but O-109a is a very common die marriage for 1810.

Catalog #: PCGS #6095 (major type listing). Likely Overton-109a, but confirmation requires die crack progression (seen on late die states).

 

Grade the Coin (Sheldon Scale)

• Obverse: All 13 stars visible; LIBERTY fully readable; central hair worn flat with some curl separation; cap smooth but outline strong.
• Reverse: All major letters of “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” and “E PLURIBUS UNUM” visible; shield vertical lines faint but present; eagle’s breast worn flat, some wing feather separation still visible. Olive leaves and arrows outlined but weak.
• Surface & eye appeal: Even gray patina, no harsh cleaning marks, only light circulation abrasions.
• Conclusion: Both obverse and reverse are consistent with Fine (F12). There isn’t quite enough detail for VF20 (where feather and hair strands must show), but it is clearly stronger than VG.

 

Comes with a custom slab. I am also trying to minimize shipping costs to the buyer.
