- 1848-D Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 22-O. Die State II. AU-55 (PCGS). CAC. Warm honey-orange surfaces display lively luster on this sharply struck and minimally marked 1848-D half eagle. This is an underrated issue in the Dahlonega Mint half eagle series due to having a mintage of 47,465 pieces. It is actually one of the more challenging coins in this Southern gold series to locate in any grade. The present example in AU-55 is rare from a condition standpoint and will appeal to advanced collectors looking to improve upon the typically encountered VF or EF survivor. In its earlier die state, the Winter 22-O variety is the rare D/Low D variety of the 1848-D. In Die State II, however, the first mintmark has been effaced through polishing or die wear; only a faint trace of it remains on the present example along the left side of the upright of the primary mintmark. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - CBL Set. PCGS Population: 17; 21 finer, just 11 of which are Mint State (MS-63+ finest). CAC Population: 12 in all AU grades. PCGS# 8238. NGC ID: 25TU.
