1845-D Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 13-H. MS-62 (PCGS). This bright and beautiful example is dressed in vivid medium golden-yellow. The 1845-D half eagle boasts superior luster quality by Dahlonega Mint standards, and the offered coin certainly does not disappoint in this regard. Both sides exhibit a lively frosty texture with modest semi-reflectivity in the fields. Razor sharp to full striking detail is also notable for the issuing mint, and it is not a stretch to say that there is no mentionable softness on either side. A shallow scuff in the obverse field inside star 12 serves as a useful provenance marker, otherwise the grade defining marks are small in size and singularly inconspicuous. This lovely coin delivers superior quality and eye appeal for an 1845-D $5, and would do justice to an advanced gold cabinet.<p>This more readily obtainable die pairing of the issue is attributable by the far left placement of the date in the field below Libertys bust.<p> PCGS# 8224. NGC ID: 25TC. PCGS Population: 5; 4 finer (MS-65 finest).
