1841-D Liberty Half Eagle. Small D. EF-45 (PCGS).；This warmly toned 1841-D half eagle is awash in even olive-orange patina. Well struck for a Dahlonega Mint half eagle, the central design elements are quite sharp with considerable delineation between the individual hair strands on Libertys portrait and the feathers in the eagles plumage. Despite its status as one of the more frequently encountered D-Mint half eagles from the 1840s, the 1841-D is scarce by the standards of the wider Dahlonega Mint five-dollar gold series. Examples are actually rare in an absolute sense, with most grading no finer the EF-40. This is a particularly desirable circulated survivor that is sure to appeal to collectors of Southern gold coins.；From our (Stacks) sale of June 1980, lot 664. Lot tag included.
