1845-D Half Eagle NEWP: Your opinion?
It has been a while since I posted something to our forums, but I have followed posts closely over time, especially with evolving grading services and the development of CMQ. Many great discussions have surfaced, and seeing what changes our hobby will see in the next few years will be interesting.
My friend @asheland suggested I share this NEWP with everyone and seek opinions. I understand that the 1845-D is among the more common half eagles from Dahlonega, but most examples display significant marks. It seems that examples with good eye appeal are hard to find.
I like the orange-gold coppery tone in this coin, and I would like to know how it compares to others in terms of strike and marks. Thanks for your opinion about this coin, and if you have other examples to share, please post them.

I love it! I adore gold coins when they tone like that, and I think its pretty strong as a 53, I could see that in a 55 holder. Looks to be fairly original with some traces of dirt in the devices, and theres no distracting contact marks. I would happily purchase that coin if I saw it offered for sale.

Nothing to NOT like about that coin, great skin and color. Totally original
Surprised it doesn't have a gold CAC
I could sure use a coin like that for my type set
Thanks for sharing1 -
That is a FANTASTIC coin!

Great color and surfaces and appears right on point for the grade (could have went one more, depending on the day), that is one great DOG (Dirty Old Gold)!!

Most of the nicely colored 45-D's are off the market for good. You scored! Great coin.

Wowzer. Originality is off the charts with this one. OFF THE CHARTS. Very nice indeed!

Thank you to everyone for sharing your comments and images. I have been patiently collecting Southern gold examples like these, as they seem to come up so rarely. I am glad to have this one.

It’s a lovely coin for the grade , and one that I was interested in, but stopped short when bidding went north of $6K with all the juice. Congratulations on a very nice sample.
Got Crust....y gold?2 -
