- 1846-D/D Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 15-L. AU-55 (PCGS). CAC.
This satiny medium gold example exhibits tinges of pale olive and orange. The appearance is impressively smooth for the assigned grade. With a bold to sharp strike this originally preserved example is clearly a superior Dahlonega Mint half eagle in all regards. The 1846-D issue includes a dramatic and popular variety, Winter 15-L, 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. Both sides of this variety were later repolished and used in additional marriages, the obverse for the Winter 15-J normal mintmark and the reverse in the 1847-D Winter 17-L pairing. In the 1847-dated marriage the reverse no longer shows the first D mintmark due to the repolishing.
The 1846-D/D is more available than its normal mintmark counterpart, although the typical example grades no finer than EF. This is a rare Choice AU survivor, with the first D sharp, and also with coveted CAC approval, that is sure to create excitement among advanced Southern gold enthusiasts.
