- 1854-D Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 37-DD. Weak D. AU-55 (PCGS). An intriguing and rare Weak D example of the 1854-D half eagle. The obverse is Winter 37 with the digit 1 in the date well below the truncation. The reverse die is unattributable, however, because the D is so faint as to be indistinguishable. That being said, this coin is certainly an 1854-D as the pattern of strike is unlike that seen in the typical 1854 Philadelphia Mint half eagle and is in keeping with that seen on mid-1850s Dahlonega Mint fives. It is a bit soft overall, more so at the borders than elsewhere, but even so all major design elements are bold, and there is considerable sharpness to Liberty's portrait and throughout the eagle's plumage. Attractively original in honey-gold and reddish-rose colors with appreciable frosty luster remaining. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set. PCGS Population: 3; 4 finer (all AU-58). PCGS# 98258. NGC ID: 25UL. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
