Lot Description

1847-D Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 18-K. AU-53 (PCGS). CAC. A frosty medium gold example with blended olive-orange highlights. This is a sharply struck and pleasingly smooth example with no singularly mentionable marks. The 1847-D is among the more available Dahlonega Mint half eagles and would be just right for a mintmarked gold type set. We caution bidders, however, that most collectors are forced to settle for a VF or EF coin, for even AU survivors of marginal quality are elusive. At the AU-53 level and with its originality and strong eye appeal, the present example is a condition rarity of considerable importance. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - CAG Set.
