Description
1850 Small Date Eagle, MS61
Rare in Mint State
1850 $10 Small Date MS61 NGC. A "very scarce and
under-appreciated, major variety" according to Garrett and Guth,
who highlight the Small Date variant of the 1850 eagle as "an
apparent mistake," by claiming "the Small Date punch was intended
for large cents and half eagles." Indeed, on this MS61 example, the
date seems small and lost in the roomy exergue. The present
moderately abraded example displays radiant yellow-gold color with
softness on most of the peripheral stars but better definition at
the central devices. Mint luster flows across both sides. A minor
alloy spot appears over the eagle's left (facing) wing. For the
variety, Census: 4 in 61, 0 finer (7/24).Ex: Boston Signature (Heritage, 8/2010), lot 3549; Chicago ANA Signature (Heritage, 8/2015), lot 6232.(Registry values: N4719)
