Description du lot

The 1844-D is popular with both Southern gold specialists and mintmarked type collectors. The present example is scarce in AU-58 since most survivors are clustered at the VF and EF grade levels. It is also noteworthy as an example of the Large D variety of the issue, which Doug Winter (2023) as "rare." Sharply defined in most areas, we note only light wear to the higher elements of the design. Both sides have an even olive-golden color on generally pleasing surfaces. While we note some unobtrusive contact here and there, as well as evidence of light numismatic mishandling, there are no singularly distracting marks.
