Lot Description

1843 Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-55 (PCGS). CAC. Frosty surfaces are faintly semi-prooflike in the fields. Near-fully lustrous with razor sharp striking detail and displaying richly original honey-apricot color with a tinge of pale olive. Trailing only the 1847, the 1843 is the most frequently encountered half eagle from its decade. While circulated survivors are plentiful in the context of the era, few approach the Mint State threshold. Here, then, is a significant bidding opportunity.
