- 1859-D Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 36-CC. Medium D. VF-25 (PCGS). CAC. Glints of pale gray iridescence blend with dominant deep honey-gold patina on both sides of this attractively original example. A light scuff before Liberty's throat is noted for accuracy, although the shallow, noncontinuous planchet lamination that bisects the lower obverse is as made. Mintage figures of gold coins at the Dahlonega Mint steadily declined toward the end of the 1850s. By 1859, only 10,366 half eagles were struck, the second lowest figure for the denomination at the Georgia facility. The 1859-D half eagles entered general commerce where they saw the normal rigors of circulation. Survivors are scarce in an absolute sense, as such, and at the VF grade level one would be hard pressed to improve upon the Fairmont specimen offered here. PCGS# 8282. NGC ID: 25VD.
