<Our item number 98940><B>1859-D $5 Liberty. Medium D. NGC graded MS-60.</B> Nice strike and untoned. A couple of tiny marks on the chin and jaw. Light greenish yellow gold and lustrous. Some marks are consistent with the grade. Some evidence of light striking as normal on all authentic examples of 1859-D as well, but sharper than usual for the present specimen. Soft frosty luster is displayed with slight traces of mirrored surfaces. Upon close examination under high magnification some die finish lines are seen. An attractive example of this very low-mintage issue, the second lowest production of any Dahlonega Mint half eagle.<BR><BR>For the 1859-D the date logotype is very deep into the die, making the figures appear close together. Only 10,366 coins minted. <B>Pop 1; 8 finer; 3 in 62; 1 in 63; 1 in 64; 1 in 65.</B> <BR>Estimated Value $10,000-11,000. <BR><BR>Our item number 98940<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/37jpegs//098940.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://g oldbergcoins.net/liveauction/37jpegs//098940N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
