Highly Prized MS60 1841-D Half Eagle

1841-D $5 Small D MS60 NGC. Ex: Ashland City. Variety 5-D. Although 120-130 pieces are believed known of this issue in all grades, Winter's estimate of only 7-9 pieces in Mint State appears a bit low. Population data from the two major services show that 18 Uncirculated coins have been certified by NGC and another 11 by PCGS. These numbers, of course, do not allow for multiple submissions, but we would put the number extant today in all Uncirculated grades in the range of 14-16 pieces. The surfaces on this piece are peppered with numerous small abrasions but we see none of the planchet flaws that often are seen on '41-D fives. The fields display the usual reflectivity with light satiny luster intermixed. Bright green-gold coloration.(#8204) (Registry values: P3)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25SR, PCGS# 8204, Greysheet# 8962)
