1842-D $5 Small Date AU58 NGC. The Small Date variant
<B>1842-D $5 Small Date AU58 NGC.</B></I> Variety 8-E. The Small Date variant is the last of the previous years' date and lettering sizes. The Small Date fives were struck earlier in the year and the Large Dates later. The Small Date is the more available of the two with possibly 175-200 pieces known in all grades. At the AU58 grade level, this issue is very scarce and this piece is just outside the Condition Census. This is an atypical example of the issue as it shows a relatively strong strike throughout and it lacks the numerous, heavy marks that are commonly encountered. The bright yellow-gold surfaces show the slightest tinge of reddish patina. An important coin for the collector who needs a high grade, early D-mint five.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
