<B>1852-D $5 MS62 NGC.</B></I> Variety 28-U. This obverse has the date properly centered below the bust, and the reverse has a vertical die line at the upper right of the final S. This attractive example has partly reflective, shining lemon-gold surfaces with a touch of clover-green in the fields, in contrast to the subtly granular texture more often found on high-grade representatives. The central obverse and reverse have soft design motifs, as usual for this mid-date Dahlonega issue, but the surfaces are surprisingly mark-free for the grade, particularly the obverse. A small planchet flaw to the right of the portrait is only minimally distracting.<BR> The 1852-D has the second-highest mintage for a Dahlonega half eagle, behind only the 1843-D, but as always, this issue presents a challenge for numismatists in Mint State, particularly if an attractive example is the goal. The piece offered here is a candidate worth considering. Census: 5 in 62, 3 finer (7/07).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Christian Gobrecht<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>\)
