1833 Capped Head Left 5 Large Date -- PCGS MS61

Pop 3. This coin represents the BD-1 variety, with the Large Date obverse. The surfaces are bright and the fields semi-reflective. Even, light reddish-yellow color is seen over each side of this rarely seen Capped Head issue.. The actual size difference of the digits in the Small Date and Large Date variants is just barely distinguishable, but the style of the number punches is distinctly different. The 3s on the Large Date have pronounced knobs and the 8 is more blocklike rather than the italic (or belted) style seen on the Small Date. The BD-1 is a rare variety, with a surviving population of just 35-45 examples in all grades. PCGS Price Guide...$77,500.
