Description
Endearing Choice AU 1849-D $5
Originally Preserved and Highly Attractive
1849-D Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 25-T. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC.
This boldly to sharply struck half eagle exhibits little wear to surfaces that show much of the original satin to modestly reflective finish. Warm honey-gold in color, both sides also reveal tinges of pale rose and bolder orange-apricot highlights as the coin rotates under a light. A lovely Choice AU Dahlonega Mint $5 that belongs in an advanced Southern gold cabinet. The mintage of half eagles at the Dahlonega Mint came in at 39,036 pieces in 1849, of which perhaps a few hundred exist today. Most, of course, are in lower grades than this premium AU-58 example. Rare and desirable for the date collector or Dahlonega Mint specialist.
PCGS# 8242. NGC ID: 25TX.
PCGS Population: 15; 9 finer (MS-63+ finest). CAC Stickered Population: 5; 2.
From the Srotag Collection.
