- 1851-D Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 31-W. AU-55 (PCGS). CAC. An exciting example of the issue, this is an original Choice AU coin with even orange-olive color and appreciable luster on both sides. The strike is quite soft along Liberty's brow and at the bottom of the eagle, yet bold for most other focal features. Although a mintage of 62,710 pieces is generous for the issuing mint, the 1851-D is scarce and underrated in today's market. According to Southern gold expert Doug Winter (2013), this is the fifth rarest of 26 issues in the Dahlonega Mint five-dollar series. Far superior to the typically encountered survivor, the present example is highly recommended for inclusion in an advanced cabinet. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - CBL Set. PCGS Population: 23; 14 finer, just six of which are Mint State (MS-63 finest). CAC Population: 19 in all AU grades. PCGS# 8248. NGC ID: 25U7. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
