Description

Choice AU 1842-D Large Date, Large Letters Five

1842-D $5 Large Date AU55 NGC. Variety 9-G. The two varieties of 1842-D Half Eagles are known as the Large Date and Small Date, but perhaps of greater numismatic significance, the reverses differ as well. The Small Date variety has a Small Letters reverse, while the Large Date features a more crowded Large Letters reverse. The Small Date variety must have received the lion's share of the production, since the Large Date is much tougher, particularly in higher grades. This crisply struck example has generally undisturbed surfaces and attractive orange and olive hues. Although a few pieces have been certified finer, these may not return to the marketplace for a number of years, even the most ambitious specialist should consider the merits of the present problem-free representative. Population: 4 in 55, 4 finer (10/04).(#8211) (Registry values: P5)
