Lot Description

1851-D Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 26-O. Repunched Date, Weak D. EF-45 (PCGS). A warmly and originally patinated golden-honey example with most design elements boldly to sharply defined. Our multiple offerings in this installment of the Fairmont Collection notwithstanding, the 1851-D is an underrated Dahlonega Mint five that is scarcer than a mintage of 62,710 pieces might imply. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection. PCGS# 98248. NGC ID: 25U7. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
