Description du lot

Rare 1843-D Small D Half Eagle 1843-D Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 9-F. Small D. AU-58 (PCGS). A bright and brilliant example whose vivid golden-yellow surfaces are further enlivened by virtually complete, frosty mint luster. Modestly semi-prooflike in the fields, as well, with a universally sharp strike from the rims to the centers. The readily attributable Winter 9-F Small D is by far the rarer of the two die varieties known for the 1843-D half eagle. Doug Winter (2013) observes that "it should sell for a significant premium, due to its rarity and importance." The reverse is the same that appears in the 1842-D Winter 7-E Small Date, Small Letters pairing with the small D mintmark centered below the tip of the lowest arrow feather. PCGS Population (Small D attribution only): 3; 4 finer (MS-62 finest). PCGS# 98215. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
