1853-D Large D Five, MS62
Popular Type Issue, Rare in Mint State

1853-D $5 Large D MS62 PCGS. Variety 29-U. The satiny and softly shimmering surfaces of this marvelous Mint State representative exhibit warm orange-gold and lilac color with a handful of delicate, deeper overtones. While the stars and other peripheral elements on the obverse are slightly weak, the centers are strong, and the overall eye appeal is noteworthy. The obverse has few marks for the grade, though the upper and right reverse fields show wispy abrasions.
This important example would make an excellent addition to a date set or stand out as a marquee coin in a broader collection. Though the 1853-D half eagle is widely known as one of the most easily obtainable pieces of early branch mint gold, even this "available" issue becomes elusive in Mint State grades, and the population figures are doubtless influenced by resubmissions. Population: 8 in 62, 6 finer (7/11).
Ex: Summer FUN Signature (Heritage, 7/2007), lot 2524.
