Description

1846 Large Date Five Dollar, MS63
Semiprooflike with Original Luster

1846 $5 Large Date MS63 NGC. CAC. The Large Date 1846 half eagle is more plentiful than its Small Date counterpart, but the difference is of little consequence in light of the fact that the Philadelphia issue as a whole is rarely seen in Mint State. This Select Uncirculated representative is among the finer-known examples of the 1846 half eagle. The strike is bold throughout, despite heavy cracking and clash marks on the reverse. The fields show semiprooflike mirroring and the surfaces are aglow with warm honey and copper-gold hues. Light, scattered abrasions pose little distraction and are not out of line for the grade. This lovely coin is CAC-endorsed in a prior generation holder. Census (both varieties included): 10 in 63, 6 finer (7/15).(Registry values: P5)
