1841-D $5

Description

1841-D $5 Medium D XF 40 NGC. The Medium D 1841-D is rare and accounts for only a small fraction of the total mintage of 29,392 pieces. This variety is most easily distinguished by the right edge of the mintmark which is above the upright of the E in FIVE. The mintmark on the more common Small D variety only extends to the right side of the V in FIVE. The surfaces are glossy with hints of golden-orange clinging to the devices in the protected areas. Collecting gold coins by die variety is perhaps thought of as the realm of wealthy collectors, but with the expected publication of a new reference on the subject, and the fact that rare varieties can be found for little or no premium above that of common varieties, interest is bound to increase in the near future.
