1860-D $5

Description

PCGS 1860-D AU 58. A scarce pre-Civil War issue with a low mintage of only 14,635 pieces that is similar to the other D-mint issues from the 1855-59 era, but according to Akers is a bit easier to locate in high grade. This coin certainly qualifies as "high grade," and at the AU 58 level is one of the finest pieces known. Usually seen flatly struck, this piece is well defined in all areas except the feathers on the eagle's neck. The green-gold surfaces retain most of their original mint luster, and the most notable surface abrasions are a small cluster on the cheek of Liberty and another one in the right reverse field below the eagle's right wing.
