Description

Outstanding 1847-D Half Eagle, MS61

1847-D $5 MS61 NGC. Variety 17-I. This variety can usually be identified by a die crack running through FIVE to the right dot after AMERICA. Earlier die state examples can be identified by the traces of extra digits to the left of the 1 and 4 in the date. Although Winter writes that the 7 in the date does not touch the bust, it appears partly connected on this specimen. Charming yellow-gold patina covers the above-average, sharply struck details. Outstanding luster radiates from the semiprooflike fields. Minor marks in the fields limit the grade, but overall this piece is well preserved and has great eye appeal. A small planchet flaw to the left of the date is noted. Census: 6 in 61, 7 finer (6/08).(Registry values: P2)
