Einführung von Münzen

Jeff Garrett:As is the case with most of the early-issue Liberty Head half eagles, the 1840-D is most often found in the Very Fine to Extremely Fine grade range.  About Uncirculated coins can be found, but they are quite rare.  Mint State coins do exist, but there are just a few legitimate Uncirculated coins known.  The Smithsonian contains three circulated examples, all in various states of About Uncirculated.  Some of the finest known coins are from the Duke’s Creek Collection (MS-62) and the Ed Milas Collection of No Motto half eagles.  A single coin has been graded MS-63 and last sold at auction in 2004 for $35,650.  All of the 1840-D half eagles the authors have seen were the narrow-mill variety.Mehr lesen
