A very popular Dahlonega mint half eagle in a very collectible grade. The variety 43-HH is distinguished by the upright of the ‘D’ mintmark directly above the ‘VE’ of ‘FIVE’. Rich yellow gold with orange highlights. Somewhat soft in the centers as is typical of the date, otherwise the devices are clear and sharp. Mint luster is nearly intact with only the lightest wear on the highpoints. From a mintage of 15,362 pieces, and scarce in this condition. PCGS 22, NGC 31, CAC 5. Only 21 coins graded mint state and only 16 approved by CAC in all grades. Listed in the PCGS price guide at $7,000. An NGC CAC coin sold for $7,800 at auction in April 2018. Only 4 AU58’s have appeared at auction in the last 10 years – a rare opportunity to acquire a thoroughly pleasing coin. Cert. Number 3608490-007 PCGS # 8278
