Lot 2378
1842-D $5 Liberty. Large date. NGC graded AU-55. Scarce variety. The numerals in the date are even in height and centered between the base of the neck and the rim. In 1842, the Dahlonega mint came out with varying date and lettering sizes. The 1842-D Large Date is scarcer than its Small Date counterpart. The strike is finely detailed in most of the hair and feather areas; the stars too show central radials. Under light magnification, a few hairlines and marks can be seen on both sides. Consistent with a lightly circulated coin. There is some residual luster present around and within the devices as well. Otherwise, untoned. Pop 5; 4 finer; 3 in 58; 1 in 61. (PCGS # 8211) .
Estimated Value $10,000 - 12,000.
