Rare Uncirculated 1841-C Half Eagle

1841-C $5 MS61 NGC. Variety 3-C. The 1841-C is one of the more frequently offered C-mint Fives, especially in VF and XF grades. However, in strict Mint State there are only 5-6 pieces believed known. This piece is tied as fifth finest known on the Condition Census with the Elrod specimen (which we sold in our February 1999 Long Beach Sale for $18,400). As with most high grade survivors of this issue, this piece shows sharp detailing on each side, which explains one reason why these coins are so popular for type purposes. The surfaces show numerous small abrasions, which is expected from both the grade and the issue, and the fields have a semi-reflective sheen that is most appealing. Population: 4 in 61, 3 finer (6/05).(#8203)(Registry values: P4)
