The NEW DESIGN for the 3 circulating gold coins of this era can be first seen on the 1838 eagle and, in 1839, on the quarter eagle and half eagle. THE LIBERTY HEAD MOTIF IS SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT FROM THAT FOUND ON THE 1840-1861 ISSUES. The neck truncation is distinctly curved and positioned so that the back of the right side is far from the 13th star. THE MINT MARK IS FOUND ON THE OBVERSE AS ON THE 1838 D. VARIETY 2-A of only 2 varieties. The quality of planchets used was not very good so you will find mint made areas of roughness. EXCELLENT EYE APPEAL AND SURFACE COLORATION.

MINTAGE 15,362 Nearly all known examples are softly struck at centers. The reverse is weak on the upper part of the eagle s legs and on the arrow feathers and claws. Extremely rare in Mint State Grade. Excellent Eye Appeal with EXTRA FINE+ XF45 QUALITY PCGS OLD GREEN LABEL CERTIFIED. Difficult locate with clean surfaces. Even higher grade examples will show numerous abrasions. The fields are sometimes rough or slightly granular due to poorly prepared planchets . TOTAL KNOWN: 125-150.---------CAC POPULATION=: XF40-45 (7) AU50/58+ (17) MS (1) This one is nicer than an AU50 CAC that sold for 6,760 in 2021
 
116684GOLD 1861 D $5 XF40 CAC PCGS$ 86,550.00
RARE CIVIL WAR DATE DAHLONEGA GOLD $5 HALF EAGLE. LOOKS AU55 SO WILL BE RESUBMITTED TO PCGS FOR WHAT WE THINK WILL BE ACCURATE GRADE? FROM A PRIVATE COLLECION. MINTAGE: 1,597+ WITH ONLY 65-75 TOTAL KNOWN. The 1861-D is the rarest and most numismatically interesting half eagle struck at the Dahlonega Mint. It is known that on December 19, 1860 2 obverses dated 1861 were shipped to Dahlonega from Philadelphia. These were received on January 7, 1861 and sometime between that date and April 8, 1861, a total of 1597 1861-D half eagles were produced. On April 8, 1861, rebel forces seized the Dahlonega Mint. A small number of 1861-D half eagles (probably 1000-2000 coins) were then made by the Confederacy. THERE IS NO WAY TO POSITIVELY DISTINGUISH BETWEEN THE UNION AND THE CONFEDERATE STRIKINGS. Very well stuck with slight weakness. The hair of Liberty is weak on the curls and around the face and at the top of the head. 3rd to 8th stars are weak with denticles weak from 10:00 to 2:00. Reverse has somewhat sharper strike. The eagle is fairly well defined except for the legs, claws and the arrow feathers. Typically heavily abraded with deep marks. I LOVE THE OVERALL APPEARANCE, THE EXCELLENT EYE APPEAL, ALL OF THE MINT LUSTER ON THE SURFACES. We only had 1 other of this date in the past years to resale. A TRUE DAHLONEGA RARITY
