<table><tr><td><table><tr><td>1855-D $5 Large D AU53 NGC. Variety 32-AA. The 1855-D is a scarce coin in all grades that is similar in rarity to the 1856-D and 1857-D. The typical survivor grades either VF or XF, with AU examples numbering no more than 75 coins. Since the 1855-D is a major rarity (perhaps only 5-6 known) in Mint State, the present AU example almost qualifies for low-end Condition Census. Both sides show scattered abrasions, but a couple of milling marks are in the obverse field between stars 1 and 2 and are the only useful pedigree markers. The strike is typical for the issue, although the orange-gold surfaces exhibit considerable eye appeal. <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. <BR><BR><B>IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT RESERVES:</B> Heritage now divulges all reserves on its web site 7 days before every auction. If you want to know whether the reserve on this lot has been met, and if not, what the reserve amount is, please visit this lot page on the HeritageCoin.com web site, or email: bid@HeritageGalleries.com </span></font></td></tr></table></td></tr></table>
