Lot Description

1846-D/D Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 17-J. EF-40 (PCGS). An exciting offering for Southern gold variety enthusiasts, this coin represents a die pairing of the dramatic 1846-D/D half eagle that was unlisted in earlier editions of the Winter reference on Dahlonega Mint gold. It is a bold khaki-gold example that is boldly to sharply defined throughout. The two obverse dies of the 1846-D/D variety are distinguished by the date placement. On Winter 17-J examples, as here, the digit 1 is centered between Liberty's neck and the denticles. PCGS# 8229. NGC ID: 25TH. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
