- Noteworthy Mint State 1860-D $5 Gold 1860-D Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 46-GG. Medium D. MS-61 (PCGS). A thoroughly appealing example that ranks among the finest 1860-D half eagles extant. Vivid medium gold color with tinges of pale olive and pinkish-rose provide strong eye appeal. Frosty to modestly semi-reflective luster is full in the absence of wear, and both sides are impressively smooth for an issue that Doug Winter (2013) describes as often having a "choppy appearance" due to numerous heavy abrasions. Ranking 15th out of 26 Dahlonega Mint half eagles in overall rarity, the 1860-D is typically offered no finer than Choice EF. About Uncirculated coins are very scarce, and enjoy heightened demand among specialists given the rarity of this issue in Mint State. For the advanced collector, of course, only an Uncirculated example will do, and this offering from the Fairmont Collection's JBR Set would be just right. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set. PCGS Population: 13; 17 finer (MS-64 finest). PCGS# 8286. NGC ID: 25VH. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
