Description

1857-D Half Eagle, AU58
Among the Scarcest D-Mint Fives

1857-D $5 AU58 NGC. CAC. Variety 42-HH. Ex: Long Island Collection. Doug Winter writes that this 1857-D half eagle (17,046 coins struck) "is very scarce in properly graded About Uncirculated-55 and rare in About Uncirculated-58, especially if well-struck and original." This is one of those rare survivors with pleasing orange-gold color and a strong strike. Only the curls below BER and the eagle's fletchings are slightly soft. Scattered ticks and a few edge marks are noted. Among the scarcest D-mint fives. Census: 25 in 58, 12 finer. CAC: 5 in 58, 1 finer (12/21).
