Owner's Description

The 1842 half eagle mintage was 27,578 and consisted of two main varieties, Small Letters and Large Letters reverses. Small Letters examples are slightly more prevalent but they are still very scarce with less than 100 grading events at NGC and PCGS combined. This MS62 example displays attractive orange-gold surfaces with hints of green. The satin luster displays a pleasing cartwheel effect. There is a discernable planchet flaw to the right of star three. Heritage 1/14: 6634.
