Description
1841-C Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter-1, the only known dies. EF Details--Wheel Mark (PCGS).
Predominantly original surfaces exhibit pleasing deep honey-orange color to most areas. Well struck overall, as befits the issue, isolated softness to the central high points is particularly acceptable at the EF grade level. An area of curious brightness over and before Liberty's portrait explains the PCGS qualifier. Similar in overall rarity to the 1840-C, the 1841-C is one of the most elusive Charlotte Mint half eagles. Doug Winter (2008) ranks it as tied for fourth rarest of the 24 issues in this mintmarked gold series. This more affordable example has much to recommend it to budget minded Southern gold enthusiasts.
PCGS# 8203. NGC ID: 25SP.
From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set.
