- 1860-D Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 46-GG. Medium D. AU-55 (PCGS). This attractive golden-honey and light olive example also sports appreciable mint luster in a softly frosted texture. Well struck with bold to sharp detail in most areas, this coin is sure to catch the eye of astute Southern gold collectors. The penultimate Dahlonega Mint half eagle, the 1860-D has a mintage of 14,635 pieces and is tied with the 1841-D and 1848-D as the 15th rarest issue in this Southern gold series. Many of the 225 to 275 coins extant were likely hoarded as the nation descended into the chaos of civil war, but even so the typical grade among survivors is EF. About Uncirculated examples are scarce, Mint State pieces rare. The readily attributable Winter 46-GG is the only Medium D variety of the three die pairings known for the 1860-D half eagle, and it is the one that is encountered most often in numismatic circles.
