- 1859-D Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 45-EE. Large D. AU-53 (PCGS). Lovely honey-apricot surfaces with an otherwise bold strike that comes up short only at the central high points. This pattern of strike is characteristic of the issue, as is the satiny, somewhat granular luster that is seen in abundance here. Minimally marked for the assigned grade with a pleasingly smooth appearance in the absence of singularly mentionable blemishes. The Winter 45-EE Large D is by far the rarer of the two die marriages known for the 1859-D half eagle. The discovery coin was sold as lot 1117 in our (Bowers and Merena's) October 1999 Bass II sale, and only a few others have been positively confirmed in auction listings since. An exciting offering for the advanced specialist in Southern gold coin varieties. PCGS Population (Large D attribution only): 1; 3 finer, just one of which is Mint State (MS-61). PCGS# 98282. NGC ID: 25VD. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
