Description

1841-D Half Eagle, MS61, Small D

1841-D $5 Small D MS61 NGC. Variety 5-D. The 5-D variety is identified by a small round hollow spot at the top of the second vertical shield stripe. A fairly generous mintage of 29,392 half eagles was accomplished at the Dahlonega Mint in 1841. The issue is one of the more available dates in circulated grades, but Mint State examples are rare. Doug Winter estimates a surviving population of 150-175 coins in all grades, with eight to 10 specimens extant in Mint State. At the MS61 level, NGC has graded eight examples, with 12 finer; PCGS has certified five coins in MS61, with six finer (6/10).
The present coin is sharply struck, with fine detail on all design elements. The surfaces are lustrous, with attractive greenish-gold color. A small planchet flaw between the mintmark and the arrow fletching acts as a pedigree marker.(Registry values: P3)
