Description
1860-D Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 46-GG. Medium D. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC.
A thoroughly PQ example that ranks among the finest Choice AU 1860-D half eagles. Blended light olive and warm orange-gold colors provide strong eye appeal and speak to the originality of the surfaces. Softly frosted luster is nearly full in the virtual absence of wear, and both sides are impressively smooth for an issue that Doug Winter (2003) describes as often having a "choppy appearance" due to numerous heavy abrasions. Ranking 16th out of 26 Dahlonega Mint half eagles in overall rarity, the 1860-D is typically offered no finer that Choice EF. About Uncirculated coins are very scarce, and enjoy heightened demand among specialists given the rarity of this issue in Mint State. The advanced collector would be hard pressed to find a nicer example than that offered here.
PCGS# 8286. NGC ID: 25VH.
