1858-D Half Eagle, MS61
Conditionally Rare Dahlonega Issue

1858-D $5 MS61 PCGS. Variety 43-HH. The Dahlonega Mint produced 15,362 half eagles in 1858, and while more than twice as many were struck at the Charlotte Mint, both issues are roughly available in equal numbers. It appears that the issue did not experience heavy circulation, as most pieces are found in Extremely Fine to About Uncirculated condition. However, Mint State coins are rare and it is estimated that only 10 survive in Uncirculated condition. PCGS has certified six pieces in 61, with only four finer (6/14). These figures almost certainly include resubmissions.

This example features yellow-gold coloration and frosty mint luster. The strike is above-average for the issue. Although the centers show slight incompleteness, only the arrow fletchings and the tip of the eagle's right wing (facing) lack significant detail. Trivial marks are scattered throughout, with no individual marks worthy of mention.(Registry values: P3)
