1858-D $5 MS61 PCGS. Large mintmark. Variety 35-DD. (per Doug Winter's second edition and revised attribution system). This reverse was also used in 1859. It is one of two reverses known for the 1858-D and it is quite a bit scarcer than the medium mintmark.

RARITY INFORMATION: The 1858-D has a lower mintage figure than the 1857-D, but it is actually a somewhat more available coin. There are 125-150 pieces known with three dozen or so in AU and another seven to nine in Uncirculated. The two finest known are in the Duke's Creek Collection. One is graded MS64 by PCGS while the other is graded MS63 by the same service and is notable for being almost fully prooflike. We are also aware of three coins graded MS62 by PCGS and two or three graded as such by NGC.

STRIKE: This is a very well struck 1858-D half eagle. It is reasonably well defined in the centers, and this is unusual as most are quite weak in this area. The stars have full radial lines in the centers and the denticles show no weakness.

SURFACES: Some old diagonal hairlines on the obverse are well concealed by the coloration. For the grade, the surfaces are very choice with no serious marks visible to the unaided eye. A very small reverse rim defect at 9 o'clock is mentioned mostly for the sake of future identification. Many 1858-D half eagles were either poorly prepared or were roughly handled during their time in circulation. This piece was produced on a high quality planchet and escaped any time in commerce.

LUSTER: Higher grade examples of this date generally have good luster and this piece is no exception. It is frosty and has not been impaired by previous cleanings or chemical enhancement.

COLORATION: Lovely deep, rich orange-gold hues can be seen on the obverse and the reverse. This color is similar to the shades we have seen on the other high grade 1858-D half eagles that have been sold in recent years.

1858-D $5 MS 61 PCGS. Extremely well struck with sharp detail noted at the centers and borders. Attractive, dark, original green-gold color covers both sides. There are some light hairlines and scuffmarks below this coloration, most notably a hairline scratch running horizontally above the date. It is unlikely that a more original example of this issue exists and we highly recommend it to the collector who appreciates coins that have not been tampered with.

The 1858-D is more available than the 1856-D and the 1857-D, especially in higher grades. There are an estimated 30-35 pieces known in AU grades, as well as 8 to 10 coins in Mint State.

The current Condition Census for this issue is as follows:

1. Duke's Creek Collection. Graded MS 64 by PCGS.

2. Duke's Creek Collection. Graded MS 63 by PCGS.

3. Private collection, Ex: Stack's/RARCOA/Akers 11/95: 1468; Stack's 5/95: 512; Ed Milas Collection; Stack's session of Auction '84: 1350; Arthur Montgomery Collection; Stack's 12/78: 175; Harold Bareford Collection; Stack's 10/47: 1400; Louis Eliasberg. Graded MS 62 by NGC.

4. This coin, Ex: Chestatee Collection; Spink America/Christie's 10/96: 135 (where it realized $12,100); Omaha City Library, Byron Reed Collection. Graded MS 62 by PCGS.

5. (tie) Heritage 1/99: 7713; Ex: North Georgia Collection; (and) New York Collection. Both have been graded MS 61 by PCGS.

1858-D $5 MS61 NGC. Ex: Ashland City. Variety 35-DD. (per Doug Winter's second edition and revised attribution system). Only 15,362 pieces were struck of the 1858-D, and of that number an estimated 125-150 coins are still extant in all grades. Only 7-9 pieces are known in mint condition with this piece somewhere in the lower range of the Condition Census. The striking details on this specimen are exceptionally strong and the fields are bright with semi-prooflike reflectivity. The green-gold color of the planchet is accented with a light overlay of reddish-orange patina. The only marks of any note are a very shallow scratch above the date on the obverse, and on the reverse there are a pair of shallow end-to-end planchet flaws below the eagle's left (facing) wing. A lower Condition Census example. (PCGS# 8278)

Auction 195 | Lot 7713 » Half Eagles » Liberty Half Eagles

1858-D MS 61 PCGS. Softly struck on the curls around the face of Liberty; the rest of the details are very bold. At first glance, this coin appears to have been polished or wiped. However, this sort of appearance has been seen on other high grade 1858-D half eagles. The surfaces are very frosty with noticeable prooflike reflectiveness in the fields. There are just a few light, scattered hairlines and no marks worthy of description. One of the finest known examples of this date.
The 1858-D half eagle is actually underrated in terms of its overall rarity but it is more available in higher grades than the 1856-D or the 1857-D. Approximately 85 to 95 pieces are known with 25 to 27 of these grading AU and another 7 or 8 in Mint State. The Duke's Creek Collection contains a superb PCGS MS 64 and the Farmer Collection has an incredible, almost fully prooflike PCGS MS 63 example. The Milas: 512 coin, earlier lot 1350 in Stack's 1984 sale of the Arthur Montgomery Collection and before that lot 175 in Stack's December, 1978 Bareford Sale, has been graded MS 62 by NGC. The North Georgia Collection coin is tied with the Byron Reed: 135 coin for honors as the fourth finest known 1858-D half eagle. (PCGS# 8278)

1858-D $5 AU58 NGC. Variety 35-CC. Lustrous and nicely struck, although the upper right hair curls and the fletchings have not received a full blow from the dies. Light wear is observed on the nostril and eyebrow of Liberty, in addition to a few of the curls. The fields show numerous small marks, while the portrait and the eagle are relatively clean. Just 15,362 pieces were struck, and survivors are very scarce in finer circulated grades. Census: 25 in 58, 10 finer (11/05). (PCGS# 8278)

1858-D $5 AU53 PCGS. Noted branch mint gold expert Douglas Winter considers the 1858-D to be the fifth rarest overall of the 26 Dahlonega Mint Half Eagle issues. Just 15,362 pieces were struck, with few if any pieces set aside by contemporary numismatists. This lovely example has considerable shimmering luster throughout the legends and devices, and the surfaces are surprisingly free from planchet flaws or detrimental abrasions. Well struck for this southern branch mint, only the curl below the R in LIBERTY and the fletchings lack exemplary definition. Population: 9 in 53, 37 finer (10/03). (PCGS# 8278)

1858-D $5 AU58 NGC. Winter 29-V, First Edition. The 1858-D is one of the more elusive Dahlonega Half Eagle issues in terms of overall rarity, while its availability in better grades places it in the second tier among the 26 D-mint Fives. High grade survivors are normally seen with weak central details and mushy rims. Offered here is a flashy borderline Uncirculated example with only localized softness on the hair curls and on the arrow feathers below the eagle. The denticles are especially bold, being complete save for a tiny planchet flaw above the second S in STATES. Population: 16 in 58, 8 finer (7/03). (PCGS# 8278)

1858-D $5 AU58 PCGS. Variety 35-DD. An challenging late-date Dahlonega Five that is often seen with weak central details and beveled rims. Based on that assumption, the strike on this near-Mint example is considerably above average, with only slight softness noted on the hair curls and arrow feathers below the eagle. Layers of reddish patina attractively mix with the green-gold alloy, and there is a cluster of marks between stars 2 and 3. Population: 13 in 58, 13 finer (7/04). (PCGS# 8278)

This pleasing piece is just a hair's breadth away from Mint State, with most of the luster still expectedly intact, and only a few light abrasions that are visible only with a loupe. The strike is equally pleasing, with softness limited to the arrow fletchings. Winter calls this issue "the most difficult of the late date half eagles from this mint to locate in very high grades." A significant opportunity for the Dahlonega specialists. Census: 29 in 58, 11 finer (4/07). (PCGS# 8278)
