Lot Description

1845-D Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 13-H. AU-53 (PCGS). CAC. Tinges of orange-apricot enliven otherwise dominant honey-gold color on both sides of this richly and attractively original example. Sharply struck and lustrous, freedom from singularly mentionable marks enhances the appeal of this thoroughly PQ example. With a mintage of 90,629 pieces, the 1845-D is among the more available Dahlonega Mint half eagles, although the coin offered here is far finer than the typically encountered VF or EF, as well as most certified AU examples that we have offered over the years. A find for discerning collectors of mintmarked gold type coins and specialists in Southern gold. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - CAG Set.
