Description

1844-D Half Eagle, XF40
Old 'Rattler' Holder, Gold CAC Label

1844-D $5 XF40 PCGS. Gold CAC. Large D, Unlisted Variety. CAC has awarded this lightly circulated 1844-D half eagle a Gold label, and it is the only example of the issue to be so endorsed. Housed in a first generation holder, this Dahlonega coin exhibits considerable weakness on the hair curls around Liberty's face and on the central eagle, but almost all of that weakness is due to a deficient strike, not circulation. Luster remains in the fields amid natural olive-gold patina. Neither side exhibits individually significant abrasions. The mintmark is slightly larger than the usual Medium D seen, and there are die lines in the field around the eagle.
