Lot Description

1858-D Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-55 (PCGS). CAC. Attractive golden-yellow surfaces retain much of the original satin to semi-reflective finish from the dies. Overall sharply defined, and uncommonly so for a lightly circulated Dahlonega Mint half eagle irrespective of date, this premium quality Choice AU is sure to sell for a strong bid. Among the finer certified survivors 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. PCGS# 8278. NGC ID: 25V9.
