Liberty Half Eagles
1843-D $5 Small D AU55 NGC. Variety 9-F. All 1843-D half eagles are very scarce, but the Small D variant is much rarer than the usual Medium D variety. Size differences aside, the placement of the D over the V in FIVE aids in attribution. This green-gold Choice AU five dollar piece is remarkably sharp, including the stars and the eagle's feathers, talons, and olive leaves. Evidence of brief circulation occurs in the form of minor friction and minute scattered ticks, but some reflective field luster remains in the protected regions.
