Description

1849-D Half Eagle, MS62
Rare Die Marriage, Few Finer

1849-D $5 MS62 NGC. Variety 26-T. Despite a mintage of less than 40,000 pieces, four die marriages exist for the 1849-D five dollar. But a supermajority of survivors are Variety 25-S. The other three varieties are rare. Relative to the usual 25-S, 26-T places the mintmark southeast, further from the feather and better centered above the E in FIVE. The 1849-D can be located with patience in XF-AU grades, but Mint State examples are rare. This apricot-gold example has semiprooflike fields and a sharp strike for a Dahlonega product. No marks are of individual significance. For all die varieties, Census: 4 in 62, 2 finer (8/22).
