<B>1846 $5 Large Date MS63 PCGS.</B></I> An issue that is scarce in all grades, the 1846 half eagle is known in two varieties, Large and Small Date, with the Small Date the rarer. In Mint State, however, both issues are rare, and the present specimen is currently the single finest certified Large Date at PCGS, while NGC has certified two Large Dates in MS64 (3/08). The greenish-gold field are somewhat prooflike, with light field chatter noted on both sides. The strike is bold, and a large reverse die crack runs from the E in STATES down through the eagle, shield, and to the lowest arrowhead. Clashing is also noted on the reverse, from Liberty's profile. An interesting and lovely example of this rare issue. Population: 1 in 63, 0 finer (3/08).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Christian Gobrecht<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
