1846-D/D Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 17-J. AU-50 (PCGS). CAC.
Attractive, fully original surfaces display a blend of deep honey-olive and pale rose-gold. Lustrous and well struck, most design elements are sharply rendered. The appearance is impressively smooth, with only wispy marks that are commensurate with the grade. The 1846-D issue includes a dramatic and popular variety, a widely repunched mintmark with bold remnants of the first D readily evident above and to the right of the primary mintmark. The top of the first mintmark is lost in the olive branch. The typical 1846-D/D half eagle grades no finer than EF. This is a rare AU survivor, with the first D sharp, that is sure to create excitement among advanced Southern gold enthusiasts.
PCGS# 8229. NGC ID: 25TH.
