<B>1841-D $5 Medium D MS62 PCGS.</B></I> Variety 5-B. Also known as the Tall Mintmark variety, the 5-B is a major rarity among Dahlonega half eagles. Doug Winter writes: "This is a rare and important variety which deserves to sell for a significant premium over Variety 5-D." It is a perfect die state of the obverse with no trace of the usual die crack that bisects the date. Traces of repunching can be seen. Harry Bass had 10 different 1841-D Half Eagles, six of the Small D variety and four of the Large D.<BR> This gorgeous Mint State piece has brilliant yellow-gold surfaces with satiny luster. A small mark between the wing and first A of AMERICA is the only significant blemish, and useful to show that the coin is actually not from the Bass Collection, despite the PCGS label.<BR> <BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
