Description

Desirable 1850-D Half Eagle, XF45

1850-D $5 XF45 NGC. Variety 24-P. On this variety, the 1 in the date touches the bust and the mintmark is also high and touches the stem. The 1850-D half eagle is one of the less frequently encountered issues of the series with a mintage of 43,984 pieces. Attractive olive-gold patina covers the surfaces, and the details are soft, as typically seen. The mintmark is often weakly struck, and this piece is no exception. Abrasions are scattered throughout, but none merit specific mention. A desirable and pleasing branch mint example. (Registry values: P3)
