Description

1853-D Half Eagle, AU55
Variety 35-X

1853-D $5 AU55 PCGS. Variety 35-X. Five varieties are known, and this is one of the scarcer varieties. The mintage of just under 90,000 half eagles in 1853 was a result of California gold that was shipped to the Dahlonega Mint. In fact, every mint facility received California for coinage from 1850 to 1853. The supply slowed considerably after the San Francisco Mint began coinage in 1854. This example has above-average design definition with trivial marks on the still-lustrous honey-gold surfaces. Population: 38 in 55, 60 finer (12/19).(Registry values: P1)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25UF, PCGS# 8255, Greysheet# 9004)

Weight: 8.36 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
