- 1846-D Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 16-I. EF-45 (PCGS). CAC. Wonderfully original surfaces exhibit gorgeous khaki-olive color overall. This is a sharply struck, appreciably lustrous example with a frosty texture and impressively smooth appearance. The 1846-D has a mintage of 80,294 pieces, however all but a tiny fraction were lost to commerce over the following decades. The Normal D die pairings of the issue, of which there are two (per Doug Winter, 2013), are far rarer than their more highly publicized D/D counterparts. In fact, the 1846-D Normal D is one of the true unsung rarities in the Dahlonega Mint half eagle series, ranking 10th in overall rarity. The astute Southern gold specialist would be hard pressed to find a nicer example at the Choice EF level than that offered here. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - CAG Set.
