Description

Sharply Impressed 1844-D Half Eagle

1844-D $5 MS62 NGC. Variety 11-H. The 1844-D half eagle, while available with minimal difficulty in Extremely Fine and lower level About Uncirculated, is scarce in high-end AU and rare in Mint State. This MS62 specimen displays bright yellow-gold surfaces with traces of luster around and in the interstices of the design motifs. The devices are sharply impressed, a characteristic aspect of the '44-D. Planchet quality is much better than usually seen, as it is devoid of grease stains and major planchet chips. Distributed minute contact marks are for the most part inconsequential. Census: 3 in 62, 3 finer (11/09).(Registry values: P2)
