Lot Description

1843-C Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter-1. Die State II. EF-40 (PCGS). CAC. Richly original deep honey-rose patina greets the viewer from both sides of this bold and inviting example. 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 very scarce with the surface preservation and eye appeal offered here. PCGS# 8214. NGC ID: 25T3. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
