Description
1843 Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-61 (PCGS). CAC.
Frosty surfaces are in a very high state of preservation for this otherwise readily obtainable 1840s half eagle. Fully lustrous with razor sharp striking detail and displaying richly original honey-orange color with a tinge of olive. Trailing only the 1847, the 1843 is the most frequently encountered half eagle from its decade. A mintage of 611,205 circulation strikes is a record for the Liberty Head series up to that point in time. While circulated survivors are plentiful in the context of the era, Mint State examples are rare and seldom offered. Here, then, is a significant bidding opportunity for the better date gold type collector or advanced Liberty Head half eagle enthusiast.
PCGS# 8213. NGC ID: 25T2.
PCGS Population: 22; 34 finer (MS-64 finest). CAC Population: 20 in all Mint State grades.
From the Fairmont Collection - CBL Set.
