A Sparkling Gem 1854-D Half Eagle, Probably the Second Finest Known

1854-D $5 MS65 NGC. Winter 24-R. This spectacular coin is unlisted on Doug Winter's Condition Census. It is neither the Milas nor the Byron Reed specimen. As such, it will most likely find its place as the #2 coin on the C.C. as the #1 coin is described as, "The Akers plate coin and...one of the two finest known Dahlonega half eagles of any date." This is one of the seldom encountered pieces that is fully struck throughout. The surfaces are bright and highly lustrous with shimmering mint frost that is intermixed with prooflikeness which resulted from the coin having been struck from striated dies. Bright orange-gold color, there are only the tiniest imperfections evident on either side of this impressive Gem Five Dollar from the historic Dahlonega mint.
