Description

Conditionally Scarce 1850-D Half Eagle, AU58

1850-D $5 AU58 PCGS. Variety 23-P. The upright of the mintmark is directly above the top of the right diagonal of the V in FIVE, identifying this die marriage. With a mintage of 43,984 pieces, the 1850-D does not appear scarce at first glance, especially relative to other Dahlonega half eagles, but a low survival rate has caused it to be quite rare in high grades. The details show above-average sharpness, and only the mintmark and the first few stars are a little soft. 1850-D quarter eagles typically show numerous abrasions, but this example has surprisingly few minor marks. There is just a small spot above the eagle's head. A die crack that passes through FIVE and UNITED STATES is noted. Population: 7 in 58, 3 finer (6/08).(Registry values: P3)
