Description

Conditionally Scarce 1846-D Half Eagle, AU53

1846-D $5 AU53 NGC. Variety 14-I. A high date, with the 6 positioned closer to the neck than the denticles, and the mintmark mostly above the V in FIVE, identify this variety. The strike is above average for the issue, with well defined stars and a sharp reverse. Attractive orange-gold covers both sides. The fields are minimally marked, and there is a little verdigris in the protected areas on each side. The 1846-D is one of the scarcest Dahlonega half eagles in better grades, and it is virtually impossible to find in Mint State. This is certainly a pleasing example of this conditionally scarce issue.(Registry values: P3)
