Losbeschreibung

The popular 1838-C is the first Charlotte Mint half eagle and the only one of the Classic Head design type. The mintage is a scant 17,179 pieces, and most have long since been lost to commercial use. Scarce to rare in all grades, the 1838-C has an extant population of fewer than 300 coins, perhaps fewer than 200. The offered coin is in a great collector grade and will see spirited bidding from both Southern gold specialists and numismatists who focus on the Classic Head half eagle series of 1834 to 1838.
