Description

1851-D Five Dollar, AU55
Scarce 25-Q Variety
Seldom Seen Finer

1851-D $5 AU55 NGC. Variety 25-Q. This is a rare obverse/reverse combination and should be of interest to the Dahlonega specialist. Although the 1851-D is a higher-mintage series issue, surprisingly few are known with only 115-135 estimated extant in all grades. A Choice AU example such as this one is about as fine as one is likely to encounter. Only four or five Uncirculated pieces are believed known. The center obverse is weak, as usually seen, with good definition elsewhere. Each side is peppered with numerous small abrasions, the only one note across the eagle's right (facing) wingtip.
