Description

1840 Half Eagle, AU58
Possible Narrow Mill Variety

1840 $5 Small Diameter AU58 NGC. CAC. A pleasing caramel-gold Borderline Uncirculated example. Well defined and partly lustrous with minor inexactness of strike on the hair near the ear. A thin mark above the eagle, but less abraded overall than is customary for its brief stint in commerce. The NGC insert is designated Small Diameter, implying that this coin is the Narrow Mill variety. That is difficult to confirm, because the circa-2000 holder encroaches upon the rim, A Narrow Mill example has a diameter of 21.6 mm, while the usual Broad Mill variety has a diameter of 22.5 mm. Census: 66 in 58, 28 finer. CAC: 12 in 58, 6 finer (7/22).(Registry values: P5)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25SA, PCGS# 8194, Greysheet# 8884)
