Lot Description

Extraordinary Choice AU 1855-D Half Eagle 1855-D Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 38-CC. Medium D. AU-58+ (PCGS). This overall sharp, near-fully lustrous 1855-D half eagle will be just right for inclusion in an advanced Southern gold cabinet. Evenly patinated honey-orange surfaces retain ample evidence of a satiny finish. It is a thoroughly appealing piece that is sure to sell for a premium bid. Our multiple offerings of examples in this sale notwithstanding, the Winter 38-CC Medium D is more elusive than the only other variety known for the issue, the Winter 38-EE Large D. Provenance: From our sale of the Blue Moon Collection, Part I, March 2017 Baltimore Auction, lot 2386. PCGS Population (Medium D attribution only): 1; 1 finer (MS-62). PCGS# 98263.
