Desirable MS62 1853-D Large D Half Eagle

1853-D $5 Large D MS62 PCGS. Variety 29-U. Across virtually all grades, the 1853-D half eagle is the most available Dahlonega five, and as such, it is immensely popular with type collectors of Southern gold. An issue like the 1853-D gives the interested collector the opportunity to be selective, to wait for an example such as the present piece. Radiant yellow-orange surfaces show occasional hints of green-gold. Though wispy abrasions are present in the fields, the well-defined portrait is clean for the grade. The level of detail is typical, with stronger centers than margins, but the eye appeal is substantially above-average. Population: 8 in 62, 6 finer (6/08).(Registry values: P1)

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

Weight: 8.36 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
