Description

1851-D Weak D Half Eagle
AU53, Variety 26-O

1851-D $5 Weak D AU53 PCGS. Variety 26-O. The first 1 in the date is imbedded in a denticle and shows noticeable repunching. An additional diagnostic for this variety is the die crack running from the lower serif of D in the denomination through the bottom part of FIVE and the upper portions of UNITED STATE. Only the upper right curve of the D mintmark is barely visible on this AU53 specimen. Peach-gold surfaces display hints of light green, and traces of luster in the recesses. This piece is slightly better defined than most 1851-Ds, that is rated as one of the more poorly struck Dahlonega half eagles from the 1850s ( Douglas Winter, 2003). A few inoffensive circulation marks are noted on each side.
