- 1853-D Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 34-Y. Large D. MS-60 (PCGS). CAC.
Here is a rare and highly desirable Mint State Dahlonega half eagle. Attractively original surfaces exhibit vivid reddish-rose highlights to dominant golden-olive color. The strike is superior for the issue with notably sharp detail both in the centers and the borders. Lustrous and remarkably smooth for the assigned grade, this lovely coin is sure to sell for a strong premium. With its mintage of 89,678 pieces, it is not surprising that the 1853-D is the most common half eagle from this coinage facility. Examples in VF and EF are obtainable with ease and, although scarce, enough AUs survive that there are usually numerous auction appearances in any given year. Mint State coins are another matter, however, for the 1853-D is a noteworthy condition rarity at this level. The offered coin would serve as a highlight in an advanced Liberty Head half eagle collection, Southern gold cabinet, or mintmarked type set.
