1846-D/D Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 16-J. MS-61 (PCGS). CAC. An incredible Dahlonega Mint half eagle regardless of date or variety, this Mint State 1846-D/D will be a highlight in even the finest Southern gold cabinet. Fully struck with razor sharp detail from the rims to the centers, both sides also display intense mint luster and a satin to modestly semi-prooflike finish. The fields, in particular, reveal appreciable reflectivity. The surfaces are very smooth for the assigned grade with vivid honey-orange color. This coin is exceptional for both its technical quality and eye appeal. It is a rare Mint State survivor of a dramatic and popular variety, and as the only certified example to meet with strict CAC approval, it is fully deserving of a ranking in the Condition Census. A significant and highly attractive coin that is sure to create excitement among advanced Southern gold enthusiasts. PCGS# 8229. NGC ID: 25TH. PCGS Population: 10; 7 finer (MS-65 finest). CAC Population: 1 in all Mint State grades.
