Lot Description

1858-D Liberty Head Half Eagle. EF-45 (PCGS). CAC. This is an uncommonly original Southern gold coin that displays vivid rose peripheral highlights to otherwise khaki-gold surfaces. Smooth and inviting in hand, as well, with bold to sharp detail that further enhances this coin's already considerable appeal. Premium Choice EF quality in a survivor of this scarcer Dahlonega Mint half eagle issue, one with a limited mintage of 15,362 pieces. PCGS# 8278. NGC ID: 25V9. Provenance: From the Alexander Collection. Collector envelope included.
