Description

Original Choice XF 1857-D Half Eagle

1857-D $5 XF45 PCGS. Variety 34-CC. The gold mines near Dahlonega were mostly played out by the late 1850s, and production of the Half Eagles dwindled annually from 91,584 pieces in 1852 to 17,046 pieces in 1857. As a result, the 1857-D is a better date, even by the standards of D-mint southern gold. This greenish-gold example has typical definition on the fletchings and curls, but the stars and the eagle's plumage have pleasing sharpness. A couple of minor marks on the obverse are fewer in number than expected, and traces of dirt in protected areas confirm the originality of this older holder Half Eagle.(#8273) (Registry values: P3)
