1848-D $5

Description

PCGS 1848-D AU 50. A scarce Dahlonega half eagle that is considerably more difficult to locate in all grades than the previous five years from this mint. The 1848-D is a very elusive item any finer than XF with only a handful of pieces having been so graded since the early 1920s. This is an especially pleasing coin that has bright prooflike fields that show much of their glimmer despite ten points of wear. Well (but not quite fully) struck, there are no large or mentionable abrasions on either side.
