An impressive example of this early date, the Small Date is the scarcer of the two date sizes for 1842 and is easily identified by the plain ending to the crossbar on the 4. From a PCGS population of seven, only two have been graded finer! Crisp and wonderfully lustrous beneath a deep patina of violet grey. Shades of rose, lavender, golden-orange, and blue are brought forth when the clean surfaces catch the light. A beauty that necessitates viewing in-hand to fully appreciate, advanced collectors of the series will certainly want to take note of this exceptional offering! - Liberty Seated Half Dollar
