Lot Description

1841-D Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 5-D. Die State I. Repunched Date, Small D. EF-40 (PCGS). Lovely deep khaki-rose surfaces with tinges of warm olive. Both the impressively smooth surfaces and appreciable boldness of detail are superior attributes at the EF-40 grade level. Despite being one of the more frequently encountered D-Mint half eagles from the 1840s, the 1841-D is actually quite rare in an absolute sense. Since it could be many years before a circulated survivor of comparable quality appears at auction, we cannot stress enough the importance of an aggressive bidding strategy for this lot. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - CBL Set. PCGS# 8204. NGC ID: 25SR. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
