Description du lot

1849-D Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 24-R. VF-25 (PCGS). This handsome piece exhibits dominant deep khaki-gold color with outlines of steely-olive to the design elements. The result is a pleasing cameo-like appearance at the middle reaches of the numismatic grading scale. All major design elements are bold, and the in hand appearance is impressively smooth for a Dahlonega Mint half eagle that saw considerable commercial use. The rarest of the four die pairings of the 1849-D half eagle, the Winter 24-R attribution features the only use of these obverse and reverse dies. Southern gold variety enthusiasts are urged to pay special attention to this offering. PCGS# 8242. NGC ID: 25TX. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
