1849-D Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 25-S. AU-53 (PCGS). CAC. A warm and inviting example dressed in even golden-olive. With a bold to sharp strike, abundant frosty luster and pleasingly smooth appearance, there is much to recommend this handsome piece to discerning Southern gold collectors. The mintage of half eagles at the Dahlonega Mint came in at 39,036 pieces in 1849, of which perhaps a few hundred exist today. Most, of course, are in lower grades than this AU-53 example. Of further desirability due to rare and coveted CAC approval. PCGS# 8242. NGC ID: 25TX. CAC Population: 7 in all AU grades. Form the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set.
