1844 Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-61 (PCGS). CAC--Gold Label. OGH.
A sharply struck and satin to softly frosted example with full original golden-apricot color on both sides. Premium for the assigned grade, the surfaces are uncommonly free of sizable or otherwise distracting marks. One of the scarcer Philadelphia Mint half eagles from the 1840s, the 1844 is seen less often than the 1843 or 1847. As with all early date Liberty Head half eagles the 1844 is highly elusive in Mint State, and the present example is among the finer seen by PCGS and CAC. A find for the better date type collector or advanced Liberty Head half eagle enthusiast.
PCGS# 8219. NGC ID: 25T7.
Gold CAC Population: just 2 in all grades, AU-50 and MS-61.
