1843-D Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 10-G. Medium D. VF-35 (PCGS). Vivid reddish-gold and, to a lesser extent, powder blue undertones are noted on bold honey-olive surfaces. All major design elements are well outlined, and plenty of sharper detail remains in the recesses of the eagle’s plumage on the reverse. A wholesome mid-grade example of this more obtainable die pairing of the issue.<p>The Winter 10-G attribution accounts for the majority of 1843-D half eagles in numismatic hands. It is easily distinguished from its Winter 9-F counterpart by a Medium D mintmark that is nearly centered over the space between the letters VE in FIVE. This reverse die would go on to strike both varieties of the 1844-D issue. PCGS# 8215. NGC ID: 25T4. From Heritages Fort Worth Signature Auction of March 2010, lot 2272.
