Lot Description

1843-C Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter-1. Die State II. EF-40 (PCGS). Attractive medium gold patina with tinges of deep olive to both sides. Boldly to sharply defined overall, and definitely a pleasing example from this challenging Southern gold series. The 1843-C was produced to the extent of 44,277 pieces and, like all Charlotte Mint gold issues, suffered a high rate of attrition through circulation. Survivors are scarce in an absolute sense and rare in higher grades than that offered here. Provenance: From the James D. Brilliant Collection. PCGS# 8214. NGC ID: 25T3.
