David Akers (1975/88):
The 1831 also has the Large 5D and Small 5D varieties, just like the 1830. However, for some reason the varieties have not usually been distinguished by auction cataloguers or the standard pricing guides. As a date, the 1831 is definitely more rare than either the 1830 or 1834, and if the 1831 were broken down into its Large 5D and Small 5D varieties as the 1830 and 1834 are broken into their two varieties, the 1831 would appear to be even more rare than it does now. The relative rarity of the two varieties of the 1831 is exactly reversed from the 1830. With the 1831, the Small 5D is much more rare than the Large 5D. Almost all 1831 Half Eagles I have seen were the Large 5D variety and I would say that the Small 5D variety is 3-4 times as rare as the Large 5D variety and also more rare than the 1830 Large 5D, the 1834 Crosslet 4, or even the 1832 Square Base 2, 13 Stars.
