Lot Description

1845-D Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 12-I. EF-45 (PCGS). Originally preserved khaki-gold surfaces exhibit tinges of pale rose around the peripheries. Close inspection with a loupe reveals light copper-russet highlights in the protected areas, most of which are associated with light surface build up. Detail is bold to sharp throughout the design. This is a desirable AU from an issue that is typically offered in VF or EF grades. With a mintage of 90,629 coins, the 1845-D is among the more available Dahlonega Mint half eagles. This example will appeal to mintmarked gold type collectors as well as Southern gold specialists. PCGS# 8224. NGC ID: 25TC. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
