1853-D. Large D
.
PCGS graded MS-63
. Well struck
with lovely golden toning. Brilliant, satiny with warm golden
to light orange-gold luster and only a scattered few micro-
scopic hairlines or abrasions. Full central strike which is a
pleasant reminder that some D-mint issues were indeed
very well made. This MS63 specimen being a “keeper” for
anyone who recognizes how beautiful it is. Also, far above
average in aesthetic quality. Of importance to the specialist
are the peripheral details, including complete details of
every star, except stars 10 and 13 which are slightly weak.
This is clearly the single most available Dahlonega Mint half
eagle regular circulated grades to low-end Mint State 60
and 61. The present Choice specimen has a rare combina-
tion of high standards and truly outstanding visual appeal -
- to see it is to love it! We expect that even the most sea-
soned Dahlonega Mint aficionado will want to bid freely to
acquire this remarkable coin.
