Liberty Half Eagles
1840-D $5 Tall D -- Improperly Cleaned -- NGC Details. XF. The Dahlonega Mint moved the mintmark to the reverse of the half eagle beginning in 1840. The 1840-D five is scarce in all grades with fewer than 175 pieces believed extant by series specialist Doug Winter. The present example is well-detailed and displays lightly marked orange-gold surfaces. The satiny texture is produced by a thorough cleaning.
