Owner Comments:
The strike is much sharper than usually seen with good detail at the centers. The obverse is especially sharp and does not show weakness at the denticles below and to the left of the date as frequently seen. The 1846-D half eagle normal mintmark variety is substantially scarcer, especially in high grades. In fact, it is ranked as the second rarest Dahlonega half eagle in higher grades. There are just a dozen or so pieces known in properly graded AU and two pieces in Uncirculated. Per Doug Winter 2nd ed this is tied as 3rd finest known. Ex Green Pond collection.
