1848-D/D Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 22-O. Die State I. AU-55 (PCGS). CAC. A rare and exciting offering for the Southern gold variety enthusiast. First though, this is a wonderfully original 1848-D irrespective of die pairing with warm honey-apricot color to lustrous, frosty surfaces. Sharply defined overall with an impressively smooth appearance in hand. 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 PCGS/CAC 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 early die state, as here, the Winter 22-O attribution is the rare D/Low D variety of the 1848-D. Doug Winter (2013) notes that "it sells for a very significant premium." One of the few examples with a clear undermintmatk that we have ever offered, we anticipate strong bidder competition for this important find from the Fairmont Collection's JBR Set. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set. PCGS Population: 6; 7 finer, just three of which are Mint State (MS-62 finest). CAC Population: 5 in all AU and Mint State grades. PCGS# 8239.
