Description

1842-D Half Eagle, XF45
Small Date, Small Letters

1842-D $5 Small Date XF45 NGC. Variety 7-E. The 1842-D half eagle mintage approached 60,000 pieces, and the majority had a Small Date, with the Small Letters Reverse as in prior dates. The Large Letters Reverse was introduced during 1842, and when the new reverse die was shipped to Dahlonega, it was accompanied by a Large Date obverse die. Both dies were then paired together to strike Variety 8-G. This Small Date example retains its original orange-gold color. Field marks are relatively minor. The strike is usual for the facility, with softness on the lower half of the eagle. Certified in a circa-2000 holder.(Registry values: P3)
