1843 Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-61 (PCGS). CAC.

Handsome honey-gold surfaces reveal a tinge of pale olive under a light. Satiny in finish with a razor sharp strike. The mintage of 611,205 circulation strikes is a record for the Liberty Head series up to that point in time, but while circulated survivors are plentiful in the context of the era, Mint State examples are scarce and seldom offered. Here, then, is an important bidding opportunity for the gold type collector focused on better dates or for an advanced Liberty Head half eagle enthusiast.

PCGS# 8213. NGC ID: 25T2.

PCGS Population: 22; 30 finer (MS-64 finest).
