Lot Description

Elusive 1849-D $5 Lib 1849-D Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 25-S. EF-45 (PCGS). Lustrous and frosty Choice EF quality for this scarcer Dahlonega Mint half eagle. Dominant honey-gold color with blended deep rose highlights. Overall bold detail points to a strike that was sharply executed in all but a few isolated areas in and around the centers. The Winter 25-S is the most frequently offered variety of the four known for this issue, and it employs a reverse die not used in any other pairing in this series. The D mintmark is centered within the space between the arrow feather and branch and touches both of those design elements. PCGS# 8242. NGC ID: 25TX. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
