1841-D Small D PCGS Genuine (code 92/XF details/cleaned).
|
|
Description:
|
Large die cracks quadrisect the obverse, and suggest impending die failure. That PCGS invoked Code-92 (cleaning) will surprise most bidders, as the coin looks really original at first glance, especially for a Dahlonega piece. Many of these have been polished and drastically cleaned, so it certainly is a pleasure to view original dirt and carrot-gold toning still stuck into the nooks and crannies of this half-eagle. PCGS isn't crazy, as the coin does show a few glossy hairlines, but at some point, it becomes a matter of relative opinion. This XF example, is MUCH nicer than many of the "worse" coins that have somehow have gotten into a slab. Without doubt, it will be cracked out faster than the "SOLD" hammer can whack the podium. (PCGS# 008204)
