Ok, I spent my whole budget(ish) on one coin that many here wouldn’t buy at all but …

1853-D $5 Large D MS61 PCGS. Variety 34-Z. Five die varieties of 1853-D half eagles are known. Among those, Variety 34-Z is probably the rarest, although Variety 34-X is also highly elusive. A Medium D variety was listed for many years but no such pieces are confirmed. This caramel-gold Dahlonega five is surprisingly devoid of marks except for minor contact above the hairbun. The strike shows blending on the lower half of the eagle and the curls near the ear. A drop or two of translucent residue is on the upper left portion of the shield.(Registry values: P1)

34-Z Large D (*formerly Medium D) center V rarest
34-Y Large D center VE
34-X Large D left rare
35-X Large D left
35-AA Large D right

I haven't been able to ID the different obverses yet. What differences I detect are easily within strike and wear differences rather than die differences.

Reverses Z and Y are almost as hard, but distinguishable.

It fits right in with price discounts for Large Cents. There doesn't seem to be much latitude between light and severe graffiti, only whether there's a TPG notation. A slight improvement if it denotes Reverse Graffiti on the label, even if it says Graffiti and it's on the reverse.

The label still makes too much difference.

 

I was really just saying a significant discount off a straight graded coin and probably shouldn’t have said a specific percentage.

 

And I didn't, and don't, mean to pry. It's certainly a coin I'd be pleased to own.
