Description

1842-C Small Date Five, AU55
Rare in All Grades

1842-C $5 Small Date AU55 NGC. Variety 1. The 1842-C half eagle is scarce in all grades regardless of variety, although the Small Date variant is in the minority. Doug Winter estimates that only 60 to 80 Small Date examples survive in all grades, while PCGS asserts that fewer than 100 are known. Even so, the certified population counts only 74 pieces, including possible resubmissions. Uncirculated coins are extremely rare.

This Choice AU representative exhibits the late die state rim cud at 12 o'clock on the obverse, with partial luster remaining in the yellow-gold fields. Stars 1 and 2 are soft, but the strike is otherwise bold. Scattered surface marks accompany the grade. Census: 3 in 55, 13 finer (10/16).
