1857-D Half Eagle, AU55
Better Late Dahlonega Issue

1857-D $5 AU55 NGC. Winter 13-H. The Georgian gold fields were largely played out by 1857, and California Gold Rush bullion was coined at San Francisco instead of getting shipped back East. Thus, mintages of half eagles at Dahlonega declined, and the 1857 mintage was only 17,046 pieces. This straw-gold example shows occasional incompleteness of strike but there are no distracting abrasions, and the eye appeal is superior for the grade. Census: 22 in 55, 37 finer (4/25).(Registry values: P3)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25V4, PCGS# 8273, Greysheet# 9023)

Weight: 8.36 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
