Auction 342 | Lot 9019 » Half Eagles » Liberty Half Eagles
1846-D/D $5 MS64 NGC. Variety 15-L. (Per Doug Winter's second edition and revised attribution system). Only 125 to 150 pieces of this issue are thought to have survived in all grades, and in Uncirculated condition Winter believes only 8 to 9 examples exist. With a boldly double-punched mintmark, this example, quite possibly the second on the Condition Census, has bright lustrous surfaces, shifting to a satiny appearance on the devices and near the peripheries. A number of faint wispy marks in the fields and a few minor imperfections are noted on Liberty's cheek. Population: 1 in 64, 0 finer (11/03). (PCGS# 8229)

1846-D/D MS 64 NGC. A truly amazing coin that was last offered for public sale as part of the Ed Milas Collection of No Motto half eagles (where it realized more than $35,000). The rich yellow-gold surfaces are extremely flashy, being at the very least semi-reflective with a slight "fog" about the obverse periphery. Both sides exhibit sharply impressed design details, from the borders right down to the eagle's claws. Two trivial planchet depressions on the cheek of Liberty, as struck, are hardly obtrusive but serve as identification. Only the gem example from our 1996 ANA Sale, currently a PCGS 65, exceeds the quality of this important, eye appealing Dahlonega five. Population: 1 in 64, none finer (11/98).

1846-D/D $5 MS63 NGC. Variety 16-L. This popular variety is now an accepted part of the Dahlonega half eagle series and is collected by specialists along with the regular mintmark varieties. The D/D is usually a better struck coin than the normal mintmark variant, and this certainly holds true for this piece. The only portion of this coin that is not fully brought up are the fletchings of the upper arrow on the reverse. The fields are bright and have a suggestion of semi-reflectivity and the green-gold surfaces show just the merest suggestion of light reddish patina. The only mentionable surface flaw is a small milling mark in the left obverse field in front of the point of Liberty's chin. Census: 1 in 63, 2 finer (3/06). (PCGS# 8229)

1846-D/D MS 62 PCGS. A superb coin with very sharp overall detail and full, frosty luster beneath exquisite orange-gold and yellow-gold color. There are a few minor marks in the left obverse field; the reverse is very nearly of gem quality. From the standpoint of quality and appearance, this is one of the finest half eagles in the North Georgia Collection.
This eye-catching variety is the result of the original mintmark having been punched too high. It is clear to the naked eye and has long been accepted as a readily collectible variety within the series. It is a bit less rare than the Normal Mintmark variety of this year in terms of overall rarity but it is far more available in higher grade. As many as 10 examples are known in Mint State including a few really choice ones. The finest is the PCGS graded MS 65 now in the Duke's Creek Collection and earlier offered by us in our 1996 ANA sale as lot 8312; the Milas: 464 coin has been graded MS 64 by NGC. The North Georgia Collection specimen is tied with two others as the third finest known. One is in the Farmer Collection and it was earlier owned by Arthur Montgomery; the other is in a Michigan collection and it was lot 441 in the Eliasberg Collection sale. After this trio of nice PCGS graded MS 62 coins, the quality of the other 1846-D/D half eagles in Mint State drops appreciably. (PCGS# 8229)

1846-D/D $5 MS 62 PCGS. Here is a coin that will appeal to the purist. It is as original as one could possibly hope for, with lovely green-gold color that deepens to an orange-gold at the borders. The strike is very bold with all of the details, including the double punched mintmark, plainly visible. The surfaces are very clean and lustrous and, in our opinion, this piece is extremely high-end for the grade. In terms of quality and appearance, it is nearly a twin to the North Georgia Collection coin that we sold as lot 7693 in our 1999 FUN sale. That piece realized $19,550.

The 1846-D/D is one of the best known and most popular Dahlonega half eagles due to the spectacular naked-eye double punching of the mintmark. It is a relatively scarce coin, with a total population of 125 or so examples. In AU grades, the 1846-D/D becomes very scarce, with an estimated 16-18 pieces known. Curiously, this variety is a bit more available in Mint State than one would think from a coin that is so scarce in AU. There are eight to ten D/Ds known in Mint State, including a gem in the Duke's Creek Collection that is among the finest known Dahlonega half eagles of any date.

A current Condition Census for this issue is as follows:

1. Duke's Creek Collection, Ex: Heritage 1996 ANA: 8312; Stack's 3/93: 2576. Graded MS 65 by PCGS.

2. New York Collection, Ex: Heritage 2/99: 6235; Miller collection; Stack's/RARCOA/Akers 10/95: 1460; Stack's 5/95: 464; Ed Milas Collection. Graded MS 64 by NGC.

3. This coin, Ex: Chestatee Collection, Stack's session of Auction '84: 1388; Arthur Montgomery Collection. Graded MS 62 by PCGS.

4. Heritage 1/99: 7693, Ex: North Georgia Collection. Graded MS 63 by NGC.

5. Private collection, Ex: Bowers and Ruddy's Eliasberg Sale (October, 1982): 441. Graded MS 61 by PCGS.

1846-D/D $5 MS60 NGC. Winter 12-I. The D/D is so clearly double punched that it has long been recognized by specialists as well as the major grading services as a separate variety. Only 8-9 pieces are believed extant today in Mint State. Like the Normal Mintmark above, this piece also has numerous small abrasions that are peppered over each side. The coin has rich green-gold coloration and the striking details are especially strong on each side. An important absolute and condition rarity.

1846-D/D $5 AU58 PCGS. Variety 15-L, over D mintmark. The D/D is so clearly double punched that it has long been recognized by specialists as well as the major grading services as a separate variety. This lovely coin has sharp details for a Dahlonega Mint product, with only light wear on the devices. Some prooflike luster still surrounds the devices. The surfaces have fewer abrasions than expected for the grade, however, a diagonal mark under the final S of STATES is mentioned for pedigree purposes. A correctly graded example. (PCGS# 8229)

Boldly struck for the southern branch mint, and noticeable bright luster outlines the stars and legends. A contact mark below the final S in STATES, but this is far from the focal points of the coin.

It is a relatively scarce coin, with a total population of 125 or so examples. In AU grades, the 1846-D/D becomes very scarce, with an estimated 16-18 pieces known. Curiously, this variety is a bit more available in Mint State than one would think from an issue that is so scarce in AU, probably in the vicinity of 8 to 10 coins. The surfaces of this high grade example are a bright green-gold with strong detailing in all areas, being held in check, grade-wise, by a consistent scuffiness in the fields. Population: 1 in 60, 5 finer (2/00). (PCGS# 8229)
