1846-D/D Liberty Gold Half Eagle ($5)

Fresh, original skin with a pleasing warm yellow-gold hue and a touch of dusky, old-gold patina. Luster peeks through the protected areas, especially around the stars and reverse legends, giving this example better-than-typical eye appeal for the issue. Wear is even and honest, with the high points softly blended yet the rims full and the reverse devices still crisp. Typical Dahlonega texture is present without the usual distractions - just some light, scattered ticks and faint lines that square with the AU53 assignment. Seated in a clean, modern NGC holder and ready to anchor a Southern gold shelf with confidence.
