- 1859-D Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 44-HH. Medium D. EF-45 (PCGS). CAC. Tinges of pale pink blend with dominant honey-gold color on both sides of this wonderfully original example. Frosty luster is superior in quality for the assigned grade, as are surfaces that are exceptionally smooth and distraction free. Boldly struck for the issue, and sure to sell for a strong premium. 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. As with most Southern gold coins, the vast quantity of the roughly 200 known specimens are in VF or lower EF condition, with AU coins of even marginal quality quite scarce. At the Choice Extremely Fine level, the offered coin from the Fairmont Collection represents the finest realistically obtainable for most collectors and is worthy of serious consideration.
