Lot Description

1853-D Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 35-AA. AU-50 (PCGS). CAC. A remarkably choice example of this popular type issue in the Dahlonega Mint half eagle series. Wonderfully original surfaces are dressed in warm honey-rose color. Plenty of soft satin luster remains to surfaces that are exceptionally smooth and free of even trivial distractions. Superior striking quality for the issue with the peripheries quite sharp overall, the centers somewhat soft, although to no great detriment. CAC Population: 35 in all AU grades. PCGS# 8255.
