Lot Description

1848-D Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 18-M. Die State II. VF-20 (PCGS). Uncommonly lustrous for the assigned grade, this handsome golden-honey example is noticeably soft in certain areas, mostly due to the advanced state of the Winter 18-M dies. An underrated issue due to a relatively generous mintage of 47,465 pieces, the 1848-D is actually among the more challenging Dahlonega Mint half eagles to locate in any grade. The present example in problem-free and fully original VF will appeal to discerning Southern gold collectors. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection. PCGS# 8238. NGC ID: 25TU.
