Description

1843-C Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter-2. AU-53 (PCGS). CAC.

This handsome, mostly straw-gold example has deeper honey-gold accents in selected crevices of the design. This is one of the more original "looks" that this cataloger can recall seeing in a '43-C half eagle in recent memory. Further enhanced by iridescent copper-rose peripheral highlights, with a bold strike and minimal wear that are also praiseworthy attributes. A smooth-looking AU from a mintage of 44,277 pieces, survivors of which are rarer than those of the 1848-C, 1853-C and 1857-C, to name just a few other Charlotte Mint half eagles.

PCGS# 8214. NGC ID: 25T3.
