Lot Title: 1844-D AU-55 Details, Cleaned Reverse.
Description: Rather uninspired blonde-gold color is seen on either side of this scarce Dahlonega issue, but only the reverse displays meaningful evidence of a gentle cleaning that has left diagonal hairlines to the left of and above the Eagle’s motif. Of much more importance is the strike that is unquestionably far superior to what is typically seen for this issue. The stars have central details, Liberty’s hair actually displays crisply delineated curls, and the shield and surrounding feathers are nicely defined on the reverse. On the whole, an admirable coin.

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.

1844-D PCGS F-12.
Limited strike quality is at least partially responsible for the flatness of the obverse, along with plenty of wear from circulation, of course. The reverse is sharper and rather bold for the F-12...

1844-D AU details/cleaned/tooled.
Exceptionally sharp details are actually close to mint state for this 1844-D half-eagle, an issue that isn't rare in general, but has limited availability in the AU-50 and better range. The strike is...

1844-D NGC AU-58.
Citrus-gold patina fades just a touch over the devices, augmenting the faint cameo effect offered by the slightly semi-prooflike strike. Each side is peppered with multitudinous tiny contact marks...
