1848-D Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-53 (PCGS).Bright honey gold surfaces with lively luster at the peripheries. A sharply struck and only minimally marked representative of the date and grade combination. An underrated issue due to having a respectable mintage of 47,465 pieces, the 1848-D is among the more challenging Dahlonega Mint half eagles to locate in any grade. The present example in AU will appeal to advanced collectors looking to do better than the typically encountered VF or EF survivor.
