Description du lot

1847-D Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-58 (NGC). Light honey-gold patina to both sides, the surfaces brighten to more of a medium gold appearance as the coin dips into a light. Satiny in texture with the barest trace of semi-reflectivity in the fields, this upper end Dahlonega Mint five also offers sharp striking detail over all features except for the eagle's head and neck. The 1847-D is among the more readily obtainable Dahlonega Mint half eagles, to be sure, yet it is still appreciably scarcer than such issues as the 1838-D Classic, 1843-D and 1852-D. At the threshold of Mint State preservation, as here, this issue is decidedly rare. NGC Census: 24; 15 finer (MS-63 finest). PCGS# 8234. NGC ID: 25TP. Click here for certification details from NGC.
