- 1843-D Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 9-F. Small D. AU-53 (PCGS). A vivid and attractive example with reddish-rose peripheral highlights to otherwise olive-orange surfaces. Well struck for the issuing mint, we note sharp to full detail over most design elements. Appreciable remaining luster includes flashy semi-reflective tendencies in the protected areas around some of the peripheral devices. Half eagle production approached the 100,000-coin mark for the first time when 98,452 pieces were struck for the 1843-D. As the mintage figure would suggest, this issue is among the more frequently offered Dahlonega Mint half eagles and, in fact, only the 1853-D and 1854-D are more common. Very Fine and Extremely Fine coins are the most popular of the 450 to 550 survivors with mintmarked gold type collectors. Southern gold specialists tend to gravitate toward AU and Mint State examples, at which levels this issue is very scarce and very rare, respectively. Two obverse and two reverse dies were used to produce this issue, and they are easily distinguished by the size of the D mintmark on the reverse. Winter 9-F is the rare Small D attribution, offered here, while Winter 10-G is the typically encountered Medium D attribution. Provenance: From the Augustana Collection. PCGS Population: 7; 18 finer, just four of which are Mint State (MS-62 finest). PCGS# 98215. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
