Lot Description

Bright olive-apricot surfaces are sharply defined apart from minor softness through the central reverse. Much frosty luster remains, the fields noticeably semi-reflective as the coin rotates under a light. A scarce early date Liberty Head half eagle issue with a limited mintage of 15,833 coins, the 1841 is particularly underrated compared to many of the mintmarked issues from its decade. This high grade circulated survivor represents a significant find for the astute gold collector.
