Lot Description

Frosty surfaces are enhanced by attractively original color in warm honey-olive. Boldly to sharply defined in all but a few isolated areas. With survivors of this 395,942-piece issue elusive and typically grading VF or EF, this scarce AU is sure to appeal to advanced Liberty Head gold collectors. The Large Date is the more available of the two logotypes used to produce the 1846 half eagle.
