- 1843-D Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 9-F. Small D. AU-55 (PCGS). CAC. Handsome honey-orange surfaces display a sharp strike in most areas as well as much of the original softly frosted luster. Like most Dahlonega -- and Charlotte -- gold issues, the vast majority of the 1843-D half eagle's mintage saw moderate to heavy use in commerce, and though the production run was relatively sizable at 98,452 coins, many surviving pieces are well worn in grades such as Fine and VF. At the EF level this issue begins its steady spiral upward in value, blossoming into sky-high prices in AU and Mint State. This attractive Choice About Uncirculated example with coveted CAC approval is among the finest obtainable by today's Southern gold enthusiasts, and is definitely worthy of serious consideration. The 1843 Small D variety is much scarcer than its Medium D counterpart, from the same date and mint. To date, PCGS has graded 264 examples of the Medium D type, but only 50 Small D pieces. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set. PCGS Population: 10; 8 finer, just four of which are Mint State (MS-62 finest). CAC Population: 2; 2. PCGS# 98215.
