- Scarce Near-Mint 1857-D Half Eagle
1857-D Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 41-HH. AU-58 (PCGS).
Splendid golden-yellow surfaces are near-fully lustrous with a frosty, somewhat grainy finish that is characteristic of this issue. Softness of strike near the top of Liberty's portrait and at the lower part of the eagle is also typical of the 1857-D, although otherwise we note sharp to full detail in the absence of all but trivial rub. Smooth in hand with strong eye appeal, there is much to recommend this coin to advanced Southern gold enthusiasts.
On the obverse of the 1857-D Winter 41-HH attribution, the ball of the digit 5 in the date is centered over two denticles, whereas for the Winter 42-HH attribution it is centered over a single denticle.
