1849-D $5 Liberty Gold Half Eagle MS-61 PCGS
1849-D $5 Liberty Gold Half Eagle MS-61 PCGS
In 1849, the branch mint in Dahlonega, Georgia, struck a limited run of just 39,036 gold half eagles. Today, finding one of these five-dollar gold pieces in uncirculated condition is an extraordinary occurrence for enthusiasts of early American coinage. This specific specimen has survived the generations in remarkable shape, graded Mint State 61 (MS-61). Struck from 0.900 fine gold with a gold content of 0.2419 troy ounces, the coin features the classic Liberty design on the obverse, accompanied by the 1849 date. The reverse displays the eagle motif surrounded by the legend denoting the United States of America, the five-dollar denomination, and the distinctive 'D' mintmark, which proudly identifies its origin from the historic Georgia facility.
