Description
1847-C Five Dollar, MS61
Bold North Carolina Half Eagle
Ideal High Grade Type Coin
1847-C $5 MS61 PCGS. Winter-1. There are some wide mintage
fluctuations for Charlotte half eagles in the 1840s. The 1847-C has
the highest mintage of any Charlotte half eagle -- 84,151 pieces
were struck. Heritage records only a single die variety for that
large mintage, but it would be no surprise if a second or even a
third die pair awaits discovery. Most coins entered circulation and
the average survivor fits into the VF to XF range. Mint State
examples are rare. This sharp and colorful MS61 example is
remarkably well-struck for the issue. Liberty's curls and the
eagle's plumage are sharp throughout, with only a small are of
weakness at the right-side horizontal shield stripes. Deep and
frosty green-gold color displays occasional orange-gold accents for
excellent eye appeal. PCGS Population: 6 in 61, 5 finer
