Liberty Half Eagles
1852-D $5 AU53 NGC. Variety 32-V. The 1852-D is one of the more frequently encountered D-mint fives, its availability (in this case) reliably indicated by the mintage of 91,584 pieces. As such it is often used for type purposes because of the number of coins on the market at any given time in grades up to AU53. As always, the strike is soft on each side, but there is considerable remaining luster that surrounds the devices. While lacking the often-seen heavy abrasions, close examination shows a number of small, but individually insignificant marks. Original orange-gold color.
