Large Letters Reverse
1842 50C Small Date, Large Letters, Reverse of 1842, WB-101, Die
Pair 6, R.3, MS63 PCGS. The Plain 4 in the date identifies the

is sharp throughout the obverse and also on the reverse despite the
many die cracks. Few 1842 Small Date, Large Letters examples are
finer. Population (All Small Date, Large Letters varieties
