A single variety exists - Winter 17-N Douglas Winter's "Gold Coins of the Dahlonega Mint 1838-1861" also indicates the rarity is 7th of 20. He states, "The 1853-D quarter eagle is scarce in all grades. It is seen most often in VF to XF range..." Garrett and Guth's "Encyclopedia of U.S. Gold Coins 1795-1933" echos the rarity, stating, "As the tiny mintage suggests, the 1853-D quarter eagle must be considered rare in any grade. Perhaps fewer than 100 coins still survive in all grades."

First obtainable San Fransisco half eagle. Diagnostic (die chip?) at star 13 dentils is common to all 1855-S half eagles I've seen. Walter Breen in his monographs and encyclopedia suggests that multiple obverses exist with dates high or very high, however I haven't seen his " date placed very high, with tops of 5's weak, and 1 almost touching bust..." variety. The mint mark is located between the VE in FIVE although there appears to be slight differences in tilt and again from what I've seen this tilt difference is miniscule at most. Garrett and Guth in their "Encyclopedia of U.S. Gold Coins" state, "The moderately high mintage of 61,000 coins fails to truly convey the rarity of the 1855-S half eagle. This issue saw extensive commercial usage and most of the surviving coins are heavily circulated or damaged."
