1854-D $5 Liberty. NGC graded MS-61. Softly struck in the center. Mostly untoned. This coin was made using the same reverse die that struck the 1853-D $5. The 1854-D has an original mintage of 56,143 pieces. In About Uncirculated and finer grades, it is believed to be the second most available D-mint half eagle, but it is still considered scarcer than the 1853-D. We are pleased to offer an uncommonly attractive coin for the MS61 grade with rich reddish-gold color that sparkles around many of the obverse and reverse devices. The strike is typical of this year in that the sharply struck outer areas of the design give way to bluntness of detail in the centers. All major design elements are sufficiently there, however, and the surfaces reveal little in the way of troubling abrasions. Pop 22; 28 finer.
Estimated Value $6,000 - 6,500.
Ex: Ashland City Collection.
