Losbeschreibung

A fantastic condition rarity from the earliest years of Dahlonega Mint coinage. Frosty honey-orange surfaces reveal tinges of pale olive and rose. The strike is essentially full by the standards of the issuing mint, and the coin displays a very smooth appearance for the grade. Deserving of the strongest bids. Die State I.<p>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, with most grading no finer the EF-40. Mint State survivors are so elusive that this is one of only two coins we have offered at this level since 2008. Since it could be many years before a similar Condition Census offering for the 1841-D comes along, we cannot stress enough the importance of an aggressive bidding strategy for this lot.
