Lot Description

1843-C Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter-1. Die State II. Fine-15 (PCGS). CAC. A thoroughly appealing circulated example of this scarce and conditionally challenging early C-Mint $5 issue. Deep honey-orange color blankets surfaces that bold outline detail to all major design elements. Pleasingly smooth for the grade and sure to sell for a strong bid. This issue has a mintage of 44,277 pieces and, like all Charlotte Mint gold coins, suffered a high rate of attrition through circulation. Locating attractive, problem free examples at all grades levels is difficult, the present offering worthy of serious bidder consideration. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - CBL Set. CAC Population: 34 in all grades. PCGS# 8214. NGC ID: 25T3. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
