Description

1853-D Five Dollar, MS61
Attractive Mint State Example

1853-D $5 MS61 NGC. Variety 35-X. The 1853-D is one of the more available Dahlonega half eagles, with a mintage of 89,678 pieces several Mint State survivors. This is a pleasing MS61 example. Smooth, satiny surfaces show a minimum number of tiny marks for the grade, while the strike is sharp except at star 7 and the eagle's claws and arrow fletchings. Gleaming honey-gold color with attractive mint luster glows from each side. The rims and dentils are sharp on both the obverse and reverse, a characteristic of the scarce 35-X die variety. Census (all varieties): 22 in 61 (1 in 61+), 15 finer (2/19).
