Description

1859-D Half Eagle, XF45
Rare Large D Variety

1859-D $5 Large D XF45 NGC. Winter 45-EE. The mintmark is large and tilted right on this rare variety, which uses the same obverse die as the typically seen Medium D coin. PCGS and NGC combined report only eight attributed Large D examples of this issue, although additional pieces -- the present coin among them -- are unattributed for their mintmark size. We have seen a Large D coin on only eight prior occasions since 1993. This Choice XF example displays bright straw-gold patina with hints of field luster. Slight strike softness is evident on the hair curls around Liberty's face and on the eagle's neck, but otherwise the definition is pleasing. Only small, unobtrusive marks are discernible beneath a loupe.
From The Warrior Mountain Collection, Part II.
