Lot Description

1845-D Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 13-H. AU-58 (PCGS). This is an exceptionally well produced and preserved coin for a product of the Dahlonega Mint. Both sides retain virtually full striking detail, the surfaces with bright golden-olive color throughout. The finish is noticeably semi-prooflike, especially in the fields, and the eye appeal is outstanding. With a mintage of 90,629 pieces, the 1845-D is among the more available Dahlonega Mint half eagles in today's market, although the coin offered here is far finer than the typically encountered VF or EF. A find for both mintmarked gold type collectors and Southern gold specialists. Provenance: From the Augustana Collection. PCGS# 8224. NGC ID: 25TC. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
