Description

1842-C Small Date Half Eagle, AU58
Charlotte Mint Rarity

1842-C $5 Small Date AU58 NGC. The 1842-C Small Date is the rarest Charlotte five dollar issue. According to PCGS, there are "less than 100 known" examples. Only a single die pair is known. The variety is much rarer than the 1842-C Large Date five, and this Borderline Uncirculated representative ranks among the most desirable survivors. The devices are well struck, save for moderate softness on the eagle's neck. Considerable luster fills the motifs, and wear is difficult to detect. Encapsulated in a circa-2000 holder. Census: 5 in 58, 5 finer (6/23).
