Rare Mint State 1842 Large Date Ten

1842 $10 Large Date MS60 PCGS. The date is noticeably larger than on the Small Date, and the clear crosslet on the 4 cinches the deal. Garrett and Guth note that the Large Date, while more common overall, is equally as rare in Mint State as the Small Date. The PCGS population data provide confirmation.
This piece is much more attractive than the MS60 grade suggests, with deep orange-gold coloration and considerable prooflikeness present under light haze in the fields. Numerous light abrasions pepper the surfaces, but a single scrape in the reverse field between STATES and OF, extending downward almost to the eagle's neck, is the determinant. A die break is noted from the eagle's left (facing) claw down to the E in TEN and to the rim. Population: 1 in 60, 4 finer (6/09).(Registry values: P6)
