1860-D $5 MS62 PCGS. Like its Charlotte mint counterpart, the 1860-D has an almost identical mintage figure and is also not all that difficult to locate in lower grades (VF-XF), and with some persistence can often be located in AU and even Uncirculated condition. Of course, at the MS62 level it is quite elusive, and as such rates as one of the finest examples known. Quite sharply struck throughout, the surfaces are bright orange-gold and show no mentionable abrasions (and very few that are visible with magnification).

1860-D $5 MS62 PCGS. Ex: Ashland City. Large D. Variety 38-FF. (Per Doug Winter's second edition and revised attribution system). Though ranked only 17th overall in in terms of half eagle Dahlonega mint rarities, truly elusive in better Uncirculated grades. Well defined, with numerous small abrasions that are evenly scattered over each side. Notable are a small milling mark in the lower obverse field and a diagonal scrape running parallel to the eagle's right wing. Attractive orange-gold surfaces with a light touch of green and high eye appeal. Tied for second finest on the current Condition Census. Population: 5 in 62, 1 finer (10/03). (PCGS# 8286)

1860-D $5 MS61 PCGS. Medium D. Variety 38-FF. (per Doug Winter's second edition and revised attribution system). Comparable to the Green Pond coin, this 1860-D is similar in overall appearance to that piece. The striking details on this coin are especially well defined with sharp definition on Liberty's hair curls as well as the eagle's plumage. Numerous small abrasions are scattered over each side, but the only noteworthy ones are a milling mark in the lower right obverse field and a diagonal scrape that runs parallel to the top of the eagle's right (facing) wing. Pleasing orange-gold color overall with only the faintest hint of green present. A lower Condition Census example of this scarce and important Dahlonega issue.

Auction 336 | Lot 1064 » Half Eagles » Liberty Half Eagles

1860-D $5 MS61 PCGS. Medium mintmark. Variety 38-FF. (per Doug Winter's second edition and revised attribution system). This is the only medium mintmark variety known for this date. A large mintmark variety (38-EE) is known and it is far rarer.

RARITY INFORMATION: Of the 14,635 examples originally produced, around 145 to 165 are known today. This includes 38-42 in AU grades and six or seven in Uncirculated. The finest known 1860-D half eagle is the Duke's Creek/Milas/Bareford coin that is graded MS64 and which brought $49,500 in Stack's May 1995 sale. We know of four other coins that have been graded MS62 by PCGS, an NGC MS62, and one or two PCGS MS61 coins.

STRIKE: The obverse is a bit concave in appearance, as typically seen on this date. The obverse rim appears quite a bit higher than fields. Some weakness can be seen on the hair curls and on the curl below the ear. The reverse is very sharp and has less of a concave appearance.

SURFACES: Most 1860-D half eagles have very heavily abraded surfaces. The Green Pond Collection coin shows some scattered marks in the fields, which are acceptable for the assigned grade. There are no mint-made grease stains as seen on many examples.

LUSTER: The luster is excellent with a very frosty texture. There are some minor breaks in the obverse fields while the reverse is choice. The luster is original and has not been tampered with.

COLORATION: Both sides have pleasing light to medium yellow-gold color with a slight tinge of green. This color is original. Very few 1860-D half eagles exist that show natural color and these are considered very desirable by specialists.

EYE APPEAL: This is a solid, strictly Uncirculated example with full luster, good detail and pleasing coloration. Unlike many branch mint gold coins that have been graded MS61 by the major third-party services, this coin is unquestionably "new."

1860-D $5 MS 62 PCGS. Sharply struck with lustrous, slightly reflective surfaces. A touch of light green-gold color can be seen on both sides. There are some light, scattered marks on the surfaces, with a small, shallow scrape at star 13 being the only one that is really noticeable.

1860-D AU 58 PCGS. Not quite as sharply struck as the last example with some minor weakness noted on the hair around the ear of Liberty; the rest of the details are sharp. Very clean and choice with natural orange-gold color and considerable amounts of Mint luster.
We are aware of the following Mint State 1860-D half eagles: Duke's Creek Collection, graded MS 64 by both PCGS and NGC, ex: Stack's 5/95: 520, Ed Milas, Stack's 12/78 Bareford Collection. The second finest is a coin that was plated in the Akers' book on half eagles and is now graded MS 64 by PCGS; private collection; ex: Norweb I: 864, later graded MS 62 by NGC; followed by: New York Collection, graded MS 61 by NGC; an example graded MS 61 by PCGS, pedigree and location unknown; the North Georgia Collection coin (see next lot); Leon Farmer Collection, graded MS 60 by PCGS.

1860-D $5 MS 60 PCGS. Well struck and slightly reflective with deep orange-gold color. There are some old hairlines on the obverse that are fairly well concealed by the coloration.

The 1860-D half eagle is a more readily obtainable coin than its low mintage figure of 14,635 would suggest. There are approximately 150-175 pieces known, with most of these in the XF to AU grade range. In About Uncirculated, there are as many as 45-50 survivors, with most of these grading AU 50 to AU 55. We are aware of 10 to 12 Uncirculated 1860-D half eagles.

The 1860-D is, of course, the only readily obtainable Dahlonega half eagle from this decade. As many as 130 to 140 are known including 38 to 42 in AU and another 6 or 7 in Mint State. (PCGS# 8286)

1860-D $5 Medium D MS60 NGC. Variety 38-FF. This is the only variety of the 1860-D half eagle issue that has a medium mintmark on the reverse; the other variety has a Large D. While not fully struck, this piece has excellent detail everywhere except on the eagle's neck. Both sides are fully lustrous with brilliant green-gold surfaces. Hints of reflectivity adhere to the obverse and reverse surfaces in the protected areas near the devices. Although none are individually significant, a number of small abrasions combine to limit the grade of this piece. Census: 3 in 60, 10 finer (11/06). (PCGS# 8286)

PCGS 1860-D AU 58. A scarce pre-Civil War issue with a low mintage of only 14,635 pieces that is similar to the other D-mint issues from the 1855-59 era, but according to Akers is a bit easier to locate in high grade. This coin certainly qualifies as "high grade," and at the AU 58 level is one of the finest pieces known. Usually seen flatly struck, this piece is well defined in all areas except the feathers on the eagle's neck. The green-gold surfaces retain most of their original mint luster, and the most notable surface abrasions are a small cluster on the cheek of Liberty and another one in the right reverse field below the eagle's right wing.
