Description

High Grade 1840-D Tall D Five Dollar, MS62
Ex: S.S. New York

1840-D $5 Tall D MS62 NGC. Ex: S.S. New York. Variety 3-B. The opening of the 0 in the date is centered over a denticle, and the upright of the D mintmark is positioned above the left serif of the right diagonal of the V in FIVE while the right edge extends to the upright of the E in FIVE.
The 1840-D half eagle is most frequently seen in Very Fine to Extremely Fine grades. It is scarce to rare in the About Uncirculated levels of preservation, and extremely rare in Mint State (Douglas Winter, Gold Coins of the Dahlonega Mint).
Bright yellow-gold color covers the lustrous surfaces of this MS62 specimen. The strike is impressive, resulting in strong delineation on the design features. Only the horizontal shield lines reveal minor softness. While a handful of minute contacts define the grade, its surfaces are cleaner than many examples of this issue that tend to show conspicuous abrasions. Housed in an NGC "Shipwreck Certification" holder. Census: 3 in 62, 1 finer (9/08).(Registry values: P4)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25SG, PCGS# 8198, Greysheet# 8958)
