1853-D Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 34-X. AU-50 (PCGS). OGH. A colorful example with bright reddish-gold and deep orange surfaces. Satiny mint luster is also very much in evidence, as are boldly to sharply struck design elements. Even the borders display above average boldness for an issue that is often noticeable weak in those areas. Wispy hairlines are noted for accuracy, but there are no sizable or otherwise singularly distracting marks.<p>Winter 34-X is one of the scarcer die marriages of the 1853-D. It shares its reverse with the more common 35-X pairing, the mintmark placement on which is unusually far to the left for a Dahlonega Mint Liberty Head half eagle of any date.<p> PCGS# 8255. NGC ID: 25UF.
