Lot Title:
|
1846-D/D PCGS XF-40.
|
|
Description:
|
Many collectors who do not dabble in gold are unaware that the 1846-D half-eagle features one of the most prominent repunched mintmarks in American numismatics. The initial "D" was stamped far too high into the die, and the corrected location is two-thirds of a letter lower than its errant predecessor. Strangely, PCGS failed to note the D/D feature on the slab. 1846-D is one of the expensive early issues in the half-eagle series, as is the case with most Southern mint gold of the era, and this example grade XF-40 is probably a touch better than average for the grade. While each sides display abrasions that always seem typical of Dahlonega issues, the surfaces are pleasantly original and even display hints of luster around the stars. A tinge of deeper royal-gold toning can be seen around the peripheral lettering of the reverse.

1846-D NGC VF-35.
|
|
The brightness of this coin is what you would expect from a XF to AU example, but perhaps the wear is just enough to only allow for the VF grade. A couple of minor rim nicks are visible, but hardly... |
