Description

Lustrous, Semireflective 1846-D/D Five, MS63

1846-D/D $5 MS63 NGC. Variety 16-L. This popular variety is now an accepted part of the Dahlonega half eagle series and is collected by specialists along with the regular mintmark varieties. The D/D is usually a better struck coin than the normal mintmark variant, and this certainly holds true for this piece. The only portion of this coin that is not fully brought up are the fletchings of the upper arrow on the reverse. The fields are bright and have a suggestion of semi-reflectivity and the green-gold surfaces show just the merest suggestion of light reddish patina. The only mentionable surface flaw is a small milling mark in the left obverse field in front of the point of Liberty's chin. While not as rare in mint condition as other Dahlonega fives, at the MS63 level this is a mid to lower Condition Census coin. Census: 1 in 63, 2 finer (4/08).(Registry values: P3)
