Lot 1604
1858-D $5 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-61. Well struck with lovely golden toning. A small planchet defect above E in UNITED. The 1858-D has a lower mintage than the '57-D, though somewhat more available in middle grades. In comparison with other D-mint dates in the series, this is a very well made 1858-D. It is excellent definition at centers (a major plus), surfaces that are very smooth with no marks to catch your eye. The mintmark is medium size and nicely set below the olive branch, directly above the E in FIVE. (Many 1858-D half eagles were poorly prepared.) Higher grade examples of this date with good luster always command a premium bid! Only 15/362 struck. Pop 3; 4 in 62, 1 in 63, and 1 in 64 (PCGS # 8278) .
Estimated Value $10,000 - 11,000.
