1854-D $5 Large D MS (PCGS#8258)

Spring 2023 U.S. Coins Auction

Lot Description: 1854-D Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 36-AA. Large D. AU-58 (PCGS). Subtle orange-apricot color blends with deeper honey-gold on both sides of this handsome and fully original example. The strike is superior for a mid-1850s Dahlonega Mint five with the borders and high points displaying minimal softness, with most features boldly impressed and crisp. Softly frosted luster is very much in evidence on surfaces that are free of troublesome marks. The 1854-D is one of the more readily obtainable Dahlonega Mint half eagles, but all issues from this coinage facility are scarce in an absolute sense, and most are rare in grades above EF, as here.
