Description

1856-D Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 39-FF. Unc Details--Altered Surfaces (PCGS).
A lovely coin overall, when a bit of knowledge is added. While the surfaces can be described as "altered," a better description, in our opinion, based upon quite a bit of professional experience, would be this: Mint State, no doubt, when this piece was lost at sea, possibly as part of the Fort Capron treasure. Exquisite detail. Now with what has been called "altered surfaces," close examination with magnification shows some smoothing the obverse and reverse fields. Still, extraordinary eye appeal overall and a rare and handsome addition to a collection of Dahlonega Mint coins.
PCGS# 8268. NGC ID: 25UX.
