Choice AU 1842 Small Letters Five

1842 $5 Small Letters AU55 NGC. Philadelphia Mint issues from the 1840s have a reputation of being common relative to their Charlotte and Dahlonega counterparts. This rule is broken for the 1842, which, according to Census reports, is rarer than the 1842-C Small Date and 1842-D Large Date. The mintage of 27,578 pieces was divided between Small Letters and Large Letters varieties, with the latter rarer. The present Choice AU example is well struck except for the curls near the bun. Abrasions are minor for the grade. Census: 6 in 55, 6 finer (2/08).(Registry values: P7)
