Owner's Description
The 1846 Small Date is attributable by the relatively wide spacing between the final two digits in the date. Like most early Liberty half eagles, the 1846 is an elusive coin in Mint State, and the Small Date from this year is the scarcer of the two logotypes. This lustrous yellow-gold example is boldly detailed in all areas and the bright frosty semiprooflike surfaces have only a few wispy abrasions that account for the grade. There is an interesting raised die line in front of the eye on this example. This issue's impressively low population is perhaps modestly skewed since Small and Large Date varieties were not distinguished in the early years of certification. Heritage 8/10: 5944.
