Description

Borderline Uncirculated 1853-D Half Eagle

1853-D $5 Large D AU58 NGC. Variety 29-U. The mintmark is lightly repunched, visible at the base and the left inside loop. Extensive luster fills the borders and the recesses of the devices. The strike is not complete, as expected for a Dahlonega Mint product, but the stars and legends are crisp while Liberty and the eagle possess suitable definition. The field in front of the forehead has an inconspicuous scrape. Perhaps the most available issue from the famed Georgia mint, however, high grade pieces are under strong demand as an example of the type.(#8255) (Registry values: P1)
