Lot Description

1843 Liberty Head Half Eagle. Breen-Unlisted. Repunched Date. AU-55 (PCGS). A handsome honey-gold example with overall full striking detail and plenty of original mint luster. Close inspection with a loupe reveals fairly bold repunching at the base of the digits 18 in the date. The reverse die is identifiable by a bisecting crack from the first letter T in STATES to the letter I in FIVE. Unlisted in Breen, and sure to appeal to gold variety enthusiasts. PCGS# 8213. NGC ID: 25T2. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
