Small Date 1846 Five Dollar, MS63

1846 $5 Small Date MS63 NGC. The 1846 Small Date is attributable by the relatively wide spacing between the final two digits in the date. Like most early Liberty half eagles, the 1846 is an elusive coin in Mint State, and the Small Date from this year is thought to be the scarcer of the two logotypes. This lustrous yellow-gold example is boldly detailed in all areas and the bright semiprooflike surfaces have only a few wispy abrasions that account for the grade. This issue's impressively low population is perhaps modestly skewed since Small and Large Date varieties were not distinguished in the early years of certification.(Registry values: P6)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25TE, PCGS# 88226, Greysheet# 8892)
