Description

1842 Ten Dollar Liberty, MS61
Elusive Small Date Variant

1842 $10 Small Date MS61 NGC. The 1842 ten dollar production is divided between the Small Date and Large Date varieties (18,623 versus 62,884 pieces, respectively), and the Small Date is by far the scarcer issue overall. Moreover, while both issues are conditionally rare in Mint State, the Small Date variant is almost entirely limited to the MS60 and MS61 grades, while the Large Date is represented by a few pieces as fine as MS64 and MS65.

The design elements are well-defined and each side shows satiny straw-gold luster with semiprooflike reflectivity in the fields. A bisecting die crack extends from the eagle's left (facing) wingtip, across the shield, toward the opposite border. Scattered abrasions define the grade. This Small Date coin is tied with five others as the finest at NGC, while PCGS reports one coin in MS62, another in MS62+, and a single MS63 (6/23).
