1856-D Half Eagle, AU50
Challenging Dahlonega Issue

1856-D $5 AU50 NGC. Variety 39-FF, the usual variety for this issue. In Gold Coins of the Dahlonega Mint, Doug Winter calls the 1856-D "one of the scarcest and most undervalued" half eagles from the Georgia branch mint. Only 150 to 200 pieces are believed known. This AU example displays strong detail and remarkably smooth surfaces, with rich orange-gold patina. Census: 14 in 50, 50 finer (7/22).
