1857-D Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 41-HH. VF-25 (PCGS). CAC. Warm, even, honey-gold color greets the viewer from both sides of this choice example. Originally preserved, and also remarkably smooth for the assigned grade, moderately circulated Dahlonega Mint half eagles are seldom offered with such a mark-free appearance. Isolated areas of softness in the centers and at the borders is noted, due as much to wear and to incompleteness of strike, but in general this is a boldly defined coin at the VF-25 level. Attractive and desirable in all regards, and sure to see spirited bidding among discerning collectors. PCGS# 8273. NGC ID: 25V4. CAC Population: 21 in all grades.
