1861-D Half Eagle, AU55
Lowest-Mintage Dahlonega Five

1861-D $5 AU55 NGC. Variety 46-JJ. This last-year half eagle issue from Georgia's Dahlonega Mint would comprise only 1,597 coins, making it the rarest (and by far the lowest-mintage) of all the D-mint fives. Doug Winter says the 1861-D "now ranks, along with the 1861-D dollar, as the most popular issue from this mint." This greenish-yellow piece shows good luster and scattered marks, along with some strike softness on the lower eagle's claws and fletchings on the reverse, as well as the upper stars on the obverse. The obverse denticles are especially weak from 9:30 to 12 o'clock, and around the reverse from 12 to 4. Census: 7 in 55, 15 finer (3/14).(Registry values: P6)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25VM, PCGS# 8290, Greysheet# 9038)

Weight: 8.36 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
