Liberty Half Eagles
1849-D $5 VF30 NGC. Variety 25-S. The original orange-gold surfaces display cherry-red luster in protected regions. The strike shows the usual incompleteness on the curls, but the sole apparent mark is a thin field line below OF. Four die marriages are confirmed for the 1849-D, despite a mintage of only 39,036 pieces. Certified in a prior generation holder.
