- 1844-D Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 11-G. EF-45 (PCGS).
Nice surfaces for the assigned grade, pale rose highlights blend with deep honey-olive color to deliver plenty of eye appeal. Well defined overall with most features sharp, faint traces of luster to minimally marked surfaces enhances the appeal of this Dahlonega Mint $5. Wispy hairlines and a touch of glossiness to the texture are noted for accuracy. Vying with the 1843-D and 1845-D as the most readily obtainable Dahlonega Mint half eagle from the 1840s, the 1844-D is still scarce in an absolute sense. A mintage of 88,982 pieces is generous by the standards of this Southern gold series, but attrition through circulation and melting has left only 400 to 500 survivors throughout the numismatic grading scale. Of these, the typical grade is VF or low-end EF. Mint State examples are rare and number only 10 or so coins (per PCGS CoinFacts).
Provenance: From the Augustana Collection.
PCGS# 8221. NGC ID: 25T9.
