1840-C $5 MS60 NGC. Ex: Ashland City. Variety 2-B. Die State I. The 1840-C is very rare in all grades with only 70-80 pieces known today. In terms of overall rarity among C-mint half eagles, the 1840-C ranks second after the 1842-C Small Date. Until the appearance of this piece, the only other unquestionably Uncirculated '40-C fives were the Pittman coin (later graded MS64 by NGC) and the Elrod/Milas MS60. Well struck throughout with strong definition on the central devices as well as the peripheries. The surfaces are a bit lackluster, as expected for this issue, and the fields are lightly marked on each side. The only mentionable abrasions are a shallow horizontal scrape in the left obverse field between stars 4 and 5, and a nick in the upper reverse field between the eagle's head and the TE of STATES. Rich olive-golden color. (PCGS# 8196)

Auction 197 | Lot 6233 » Half Eagles » Liberty Half Eagles
1840-C MS 60 NGC. Formerly sold in the Numisma '95 sale, where it was described as: "Lovely, coppery orange gold in color, more like a Philadelphia than a Charlotte Mint strike. Frosty lustre on both sides, somewhat subdued by the softness in the strike. Usual planchet quality for this early Charlotte Mint issue, with a short obverse streak. Bright "flash" around the borders, pleasing high wire rims. Only 18,992 were struck. David Akers writes regarding this issue: 'This underrated date is very scarce in all grades and is particularly hard to locate better than EF. As a date and in condition it is even more rare than the lower mintage 1839-C. Most specimens are softly struck on the hair curls around Liberty's face but the eagle is invariably sharp.' Finer than either the Norweb or Eliasberg specimens."
Ex: Numisma '95 (Stack's, Akers, RARCOA, 11/95), lot 1453, where it realized $14,300; Ed Milas Collection (Stack's, 5/95), lot 436, 16,500; James A. Stack Collection (Stack's, 10/94), lot 1089, at $15,000. (PCGS# 8196)

Auction 195 | Lot 7781 » Half Eagles » Liberty Half Eagles
1840-C AU 55 PCGS. Extremely well struck for this issue with full centers and uncommonly bold borders. There is very little--if any--actual wear noted and the surfaces are very clean. Both the obverse and the reverse are covered with appealing, deep green-gold color. Although this is not visible due to being encapsulated, the edges show a partial "railroad rim," making this specific coin unique.
The only unquestionably Mint State 1840-C half eagle is the Pittman I: 949 coin that was later graded MS 64 by NGC. The Paul Dingler Collection contains a very nice PCGS AU 58 that was earlier in the Elrod Collection while the Milas: 436 coin, graded MS 60 by NGC but a bit less choice than the second piece listed above, is now owned by a Michigan collector. The North Georgia Collection example is in the current Condition Census as the fifth finest known but a strong case could be made for moving it up a place or two as it is truly choice and appealing.

1840-C $5 AU 58 PCGS. Ex: Elrod. Simply put, the 1840-C is one of the rarest half eagle issues from the Charlotte Mint. Whereas most extant examples are poorly detailed and heavily worn, this lovely near-Mint example displays bold definition that attests to the above average care used by the North Carolina facility when producing this coin. The deep, green-gold coloration confirms the originality of the lightly marked, premium quality surfaces. Significantly, this is the plate coin that Douglas Winter used in his book Gold Coins of the Charlotte Mint: 1838-1861. NGC and PCGS combined report only 6 examples in AU 58 with a scant 2 finer (9/99). (PCGS# 8196)
