Lot Description

1841 Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-53 (PCGS). CAC. Honey-olive surfaces are sharply defined overall with traces of original luster readily evident as the coin dips into 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 and attractively original circulated survivor represents a significant find for the astute gold collector. PCGS# 8202. NGC ID: 25SN. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
