Description

High-End 1860-D Half Eagle
Medium D, MS62

1860-D $5 Medium D MS62 PCGS. Variety 38-FF. This variety has a medium mintmark on the reverse and is attributed by the upright of the D situated over the VE of FIVE. The 1860-D is most often seen in Extremely Fine grades, and is more available in the lower levels of About Uncirculated than its small mintage of 14,635 would suggest. It is rare in high-end AU, and extremely rare in Mint State (Douglas Winter, Gold Coins of the Dahlonega Mint, 2003).
A relatively sharp strike brings out strong definition on most of the design elements, including all of the star centers and the hair at Liberty's forehead, areas that are sometimes weak. The usual softness occurs on the curl beneath Liberty's ear and on the eagle's neck feathers, and a scattering of light marks occasionally interrupts the luster flow. Overall, this coin radiates pleasing eye appeal. Population: 7 in 62, 2 finer (4/09).(Registry values: P4)
