Losbeschreibung

1858-D Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 43-HH. AU-58 (PCGS). Appealing honey-orange surfaces are attractively original with nearly full frosty mint luster. Central striking detail is exceptionally sharp for the issue, the balance of the surfaces also well struck. A few wispy handling marks in and around the central obverse likely explain the lack of CAC approval, but this is a strictly original near-Mint Dahlonega half eagle, and a significant rarity, as such. It is a far superior survivor from a mintage of just 15,362 pieces, the vast majority of which grade VF or EF, and many of which are also significantly impaired. Sure to see spirited bidding among astute Southern gold enthusiasts. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set. PCGS Population: 25; 17 finer, 15 of which are Mint State (MS-64 finest). PCGS# 8278. NGC ID: 25V9. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
