{{/presale}}Introducing the Fairmont Collection – a piece of American history preserved in the form of the 1844-D Pre-33 $5 Liberty Gold Half Eagle Coin. These remarkable coins harken back to a time when hard currency was carried in pockets, and their value was based on the gold and silver content they held. Now, you can own a piece of this history as these certified coins are available online from BGASC.
Highlights:
These 1844-D Pre-33 $5 Liberty Gold Half Eagle Coins belong to the prestigious Fairmont Collection. Each coin in this collection boasts an XF45 grade, the highest grade for an Extremely Fine coin. These coins showcase slight wear across the design’s high points, with some traces of mint luster still evident. The Fairmont Collection comprises a group of Pre-33 US $5 Gold, $10 Gold, and $20 Gold coins that were once used in international commerce and later repatriated to the United States in the late 2010s.
Obverse
On the obverse of each 1844-D $5 Liberty Gold Half Eagle Coin, you’ll be captivated by the left-profile bust of Liberty adorned with a coronet crown.
Reverse
The reverse side showcases the majestic heraldic eagle, featuring the US national shield, the arrows of war, and the olive branch of peace. Notably, this version of the coin does not include the national motto.
History
This 1844 $5 Liberty Gold Half Eagle Coin has a unique connection to one of the US Mint’s now-defunct branches, the Dahlonega Mint. This mint was established in 1838, alongside the Charlotte Mint and the New Orleans Mint, and its primary purpose was to assay and refine gold. These Dahlonega Mint gold coins hold a unique place in American history, not only for their brief coining period but also for their appearance. The American South’s Dahlonega and Charlotte Mints utilized local gold ores, which naturally had a higher silver content, giving these coins a distinct “green gold” hue.
