SOLD!
1846 $5 gold half eagle (small date, but you might check to confirm).
If you've bought from me before, you know I'm always on the lookout for original circulated gold.
This lady is a great example. She's seen honest use and has a few chattery lines at 3:00 obverse. But otherwise she's original dark straw honey color and pretty damn hot for a 170+ year old survivor.
We are like children who look at print and see a serpent in the last letter but one, and a sword in the last.

How the hell did I miss this!
USAF (Ret) 1974 - 1994 - The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries. Remembering RickO, a brother in arms.
It's definitely the small date variety. PCGS Cain Facts states that there are only 50 surviving examples in all grades.

I heard from someone on the forums that if you snooze you lose. Lol.
For those who may be interested, this variety is very easy to identify. There is a small die chip at the bottom right serif on the 4 in the date. PCGS Coin Facts states that this variety is about nine times rarer than the Large Date variety.

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
Lol, I thought it was going to be another “reminds me of my old girlfriend “.....2018 in the Mexican border towns was still kinda raw, dirty, and cheap....
