Lot Description

1842-D Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 7-E. Small Date, Small Letters. VF-35 (PCGS). This handsome piece is bathed in rich, deep khaki-rose color with glints of olive and pale silver also evident. Plenty of bold striking detail remains for a Dahlonega Mint $5 at the middle reaches of the numismatic grading scale, and this is clearly a well struck coin by the standards of the issuing mint. An ideal example for inclusion in a mintmarked type set or more affordable collection of Southern gold coinage. PCGS# 8210. NGC ID: 25SX. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
