Liberty Half Eagles
1853-D $5 Large D AU53 NGC. CAC. Variety 34-Y. With a mintage of 89,678 pieces one might predict that the 1853-D would be a Dahlonega type coin, and so it is. Probably 200 or so examples are known in AU, making it possible to acquire a well-detailed coin. This piece is well-defined in the centers with the expected softness around the peripheral stars. Each side is somewhat choppy from time spent in circulation, but noticeable traces of mint luster can be seen surrounding the devices.
