Description

1847-D Half Eagle, AU55
Ample Luster, Scarce Mint

1847-D $5 AU55 PCGS. Variety 19-I. Ex: The Fairmont Collection. The 1847 Philadelphia Mint half eagle has a mintage of more than 900,000 pieces, but it was a different story at Dahlonega that year, as only 64,405 '47-D fives were produced. Three die marriages are confirmed, with 18-K and 19-I similar in scarcity. Variety 19-I has a tilted mintmark and a distorted left foot on the 1 in the date. The butter-gold and sea-green surfaces are pleasing for the AU55 level despite a bright area on the lower right obverse field. Population: 21 in 55, 33 finer (12/22).(Registry values: P2)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25TP, PCGS# 8234, Greysheet# 8986)

Weight: 8.36 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
