1859-D Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 44-HH. Medium D. MS-61 (PCGS).
Beautiful satiny orange-gold surfaces are truly exceptional for a Dahlonega Mint half eagle. The strike is bold to sharp over virtually all design elements, and the surfaces are predominantly smooth and suggest an even higher grade. A few pale rose-colored planchet streaks on the reverse are as made, noted solely for accuracy, and do not detract from the technical quality or eye appeal of this outstanding coin. It is a superior example that will soon grace the cabinet of another connoisseur.
