Lot Description

1844-D Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 11-H, the only known dies. VF-35 (PCGS). OGH. Subtle pale silver highlights blend with dominant orange-olive patina on both sides of this handsome coin. Well defined for a mid-grade Dahlonega Mint half eagle, the sharpest remaining detail is reserved for the eagle's wing and leg feathers. Vying with the 1843-D and 1845-D as the most obtainable D-mint five from the 1840s, the 1844-D is a popular issue for mintmarked type purposes in all grades. Provenance: From the Rosie Collection. PCGS# 8221. NGC ID: 25T9. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
