Lot 1987
1847-D $5 Liberty. PCGS graded AU-55. Lightly toned with mint luster. An finely lustrous high-quality About Uncirculated with sunset-red surfaces and residual luster beneath rich champagne brown toning. The reverse rim plays host to a full strike. The reverse, as if in competition with the obverse for the viewer's attention, and far from the "norm" for gold half eagles from this mint, is equally full as to its strike. A lovely coin, one that certainly meets the qualifications for the assigned grade. The sternest censor could find nothing to cavil at in this precious gold 1847-D $5 gold piece. Pop 10; 22 finer. (PCGS # 8234) .
Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,400.
