Lot Description

1848-D Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 20-L. Die State III. AU-50 (NGC). Well defined for a lightly circulated survivor from the late die state of the Winter 20-L pairing. Predominantly honey-olive in color, both sides are further enhanced by iridescent rose-russet highlights at the borders. 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 About Uncirculated will appeal to discerning Southern gold collectors. PCGS# 8238. NGC ID: 25TU. Click here for certification details from NGC.
