Lot Description

1844 Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC. Lustrous and sharply defined overall, this highly desirable near-Mint example also offers richly original patina in even olive-orange. One of the scarcer Philadelphia Mint half eagles from the 1840s, the 1844 is seen less often than the 1843 or 1847. As with all early date issues of this type the 1844 is highly elusive in Mint State, which fact is sure to result in keen bidder interest in this original and attractive Choice AU survivor. PCGS# 8219. NGC ID: 25T7. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
