Description

1846-D/D Half Eagle, Strong MS61
Popular Dahlonega Variety
Rare in Mint State

1846-D/D $5 MS61 PCGS. Variety 17-J. The reverse features a boldly repunched mintmark. It was paired with two different obverses: one with a low date, and one with a high date, as here. Doug Winter calls the 1846-D/D half eagle a "popular" and "spectacular" variety, though it is actually seen more often than the Normal Mintmark type. Still, it remains scarce in all grades with 200 to 250 survivors, including just seven to nine pieces in Mint State. This bright green-gold example exhibits nearly full strike detail, the sole exceptions being Liberty's bun and the eagle's right (facing) talon. Small abrasions on each side have no effect on the appeal of this wonderful Dahlonega gold piece.
