1845-D Liberty Gold Half Eagle ($5)

Honest, heavily circulated Dahlonega gold! The wear is smooth and even on this 1845-D half eagle, yet the date remains fully bold, the D mintmark is clear, and the legends and stars are complete around both sides. Surfaces are natural and undisturbed for a well-traveled branch mint five, with warm purple accents settled into the recesses adding to the original look. A wholesome, affordable example of a scarce Dahlonega issue, housed in a PCGS Gold Shield holder.
