Liberty Half Eagles
1859-D $5 Medium D -- Improperly Cleaned -- NGC Details. AU. Variety 44-HH. Only 10,366 pieces were struck of the 1859-D and yet it is more frequently encountered, especially in higher grades, than one might expect. This is a well-defined example with bright yellow-gold surfaces that show minimal evidence of cleaning. There are, however, two surface defects that need to be noted. One appears to be a planchet lamination that is placed diagonally below the ear of Liberty; the other is a scrape on the reverse through the olive leaves below the I in UNITED.
