Description
1838-C HM-2 Half Eagle, VF25
Scarce Die Marriage, One-Year Type
1838-C $5 HM-2, R.5, VF25 NGC. Two varieties exist for
Charlotte's first and only Classic Head half eagle issue. HM-2 is
the scarcer of two die marriages that employ the same obverse die,
paired with two short-lived reverses. The 1838-C has the lowest
mintage of any Classic Head five from any mint. Rich olive-gold
color displays orange accents that encompass this pleasing VF
example. Struck from lapped dies, the lower-left shield and eagle's
leg are weak from die collapse. A bold rim-to-rim die crack runs
diagonally across the reverse, tangent to the right (facing) wing,
through the shield center, to the edge near U of UNITED. This
terminal die crack is seen on virtually all HM-2 half eagles.From The John W. McCloskey Collection.
