Variety Equivalents: Breen 6454, Breen 6455, Breen 1-A, Breen 2-A, and PCGS 8103

Notes:
This interesting, overdate variety is approximately three to four times as rare as the 1808 Half Eagle with a normal date.  Uncirculated examples are extremely rare and seldom seen.  The finest example graded by PCGS is a single MS-65.
