Description

Striking MS64 ★ 1846 Five Dollar
Ex: S.S. New York

1846 $5 Large Date MS64 ★ NGC. Ex: S.S. New York. In the combined certified population, only NGC has certified 1846 half eagles at the MS64 level, and there are no finer examples (6/10). Of the seven MS64 coins, six are described as Large Date, while the seventh was not attributed. This is one of just two MS64 coins, both Large Dates, awarded the Star designation. As a shipwreck coin, this near-Gem is a revelation. Radiant lemon-gold surfaces offer a mix of prooflike reflectivity and swirling frost-luster. The central devices are crisply detailed and generally mark-free. The most significant abrasions appear in the lower obverse fields, where they influence the technical grade but have minimal impact on the eye appeal.(Registry values: P5)
