Description

Near-Mint 1858-D Half Eagle
Challenging Late Date

1858-D $5 AU58 NGC. Variety 35-DD. Although still challenging, the 1858-D half eagle is more available in high grades than its mintage of 15,362 pieces would lead one to expect. The total number of known examples is in the 125-150 range, with about three dozen specimens that would grade AU. The present coin is a particularly attractive example, with only slight traces of wear on the high points of the design. Sharply struck for this issue, the centers show the softness always seen on this date. The surfaces retain much original mint luster. Census: 37 in 58, 11 finer (2/10).
