Description

1847-D Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 19-I. AU-55 (PCGS).

A frosty medium gold example with blended olive highlights. This is a sharply struck and pleasingly smooth example in hand with no singularly mentionable marks. The 1847-D is among the more available Dahlonega Mint half eagles and would be just right for a mintmarked gold type set. We caution bidders, however, that most collectors are forced to settle for a VF or EF coin when it comes to this issue, for even AU survivors of marginal quality are elusive. At the Choice About Uncirculated level and with its originality and strong eye appeal, the present example is a condition rarity of considerable importance.

PCGS# 8234. NGC ID: 25TP.

From the Fairmont Collection - CBL Set.
