Description

Brilliant AU58 1842-D Small Date Five

1842-D $5 Small Date AU58 NGC. Variety 8-E. The Small Date, Small Letters variety, as here, was struck before the larger types replaced it on the half eagle. Doug Winter pegs the mintages at 37,917 of the former and 21,691 of the latter. This piece has brilliant luster remaining throughout the straw-gold surfaces, with only light, grade-consistent abrasions, and the strike is better than expected. Census: 31 in 58, 10 finer (3/09).(Registry values: P3)
