Lot 1467
1853-D $5 Liberty. NGC graded MS-61. An untoned example exhibiting a nice bold even strike at centers with a minor scuff in the luster before the face. Intense but still abundant frost, the coin brilliant with a soft golden color through which brighter gold radiance persists around the devices. Nicely struck for the date, perhaps not entirely so at the rims which tend to lack detail on the dentils, but certainly a coin that gets proper mention where completeness of design in a Dahlonega Mint half eagle of this decade is almost impossible to obtain. Pop 17; 13 finer, 6 in 62, 4 in 63, 3 in 64.
Estimated Value $6,500 - 7,000.
