- 1846-D Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 16-I. VF-35 (PCGS). Bright golden-wheat color with faint rose accents evident as the coin rotates under a light. Well defined in a mid grade Dahlonega Mint half eagle, this coin would do equally well in a mintmarked type set or specialized Southern gold collection. Produced to the extent of 80,294 pieces, the 1846-D has one of the higher mintages among Dahlonega Mint half eagles. Even so, it is scarce and ranks among the more challenging to collect. This is especially true of the Normal D varieties, which are scarcer than their D/D counterparts. In fact, the 1846-D Normal D ranks as the fifth rarest Dahlonega Mint half eagle in AU and Mint State grades in the 2013 edition of Doug Winter's reference on this series. Only 175 to 225 coins are believed extant in all grades, representing two die pairings. Winter 15-H is a high date obverse combined with the same reverse die that struck both varieties of the 1845-D half eagle. For the Winter 16-I attribution, offered here, the date is low and the tip of the lowest arrow feather on the reverse is to the left of the D mintmark. Provenance: From the Augustana Collection. PCGS# 8228. NGC ID: 25TH. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
