Description

1859-D Half Eagle, AU58
Medium D, CAC-Endorsed

1859-D $5 Medium D AU58 PCGS. CAC. Variety 44-HH. The 10,366 half eagles struck at the Georgia facility in 1859 represent the second-lowest D-mint production in the series after the famed 1861-D. Few examples survive, probably 175 to 225 coins, and even fewer display original orange and green-gold color, as on this CAC-endorsed near-Mint example. The strike shows typical incompleteness over Liberty's portrait and the first couple of stars, while the eagle is surprisingly sharp. Lightly abraded, but nonetheless appealing. Note that CAC has awarded green stickers to merely six AU58 coins plus a single MS63. Population: 29 in 58 (2 in 58+), 12 finer (3/16).(Registry values: P3)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25VD, PCGS# 8282, Greysheet# 9030)
