IMPRESSIVE CONDITION CENSUS 1844-D HALF EAGLE GRADED MS62 BY PCGS/CAC
All half eagles from this mint are rare in PCGS/CAC MS62, and this piece is in the Condition Census for the date.
Splashes of warm apricot and olive colors appear on both sides and are most prominent on the obverse. The strike is absolutely hammered and the luster is strong. Just a few small marks which are totally consistent with the grade can be seen with most of these located in the upper left obverse field. This coin has never been lightened and it has exceptional eye appeal.
